The first file is his introduction by Scott Kennedy, staff member of the RCNV and then a brief presentation by Cynthia Matthews, Mayor of the City of Santa Cruz. Then Ambassador Safieh speaks for about half an hour. The second file is the Q and A from the presentation. I've tried my best to amplify the questions from the audience but it is still little difficult to hear them. Fortunately, he repeats most of the questions before commenting. Please enjoy these recordings, use them freely for noncommercial purposes, and thank you for your interest in hearing both sides of this isssue.

by side note
Sandino could be spending his free time doing a lot of fun and *meaningless* stuff, but he does this community service. From the bottom of my heart, I'd like to offer him a hearty "thank you" --- and to all the other indymedia volunteers out there as well. Sandino rocks (as well as other indymedia volunteers) and he is making a difference in the world.

We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
