TRIBUTE TO YAYORI MATSUI

From NUCLEAR FREE PHILIPPINES COALITION and GATHERING FOR PEACE

 

December 30, 2002

 

The Nuclear Free Philippines Coalition and Gathering for Peace send their deepest respects and admiration for a great woman who lived her life to the fullest and has given many of us inspiration in our work for peace. Indeed even in death, she continues and will ever continue to be one of the leading lights of the peace movement in Asia. For many of us whose lives Yayori has touched, she will continue to live in our hearts.

 

Farewell, dear friend, precious sister, faithful comrade, staunch advocate of women's rights and courageous worker for peace and freedom.
