Pray for Carlos Morales, CPT Colombia’s partner and friend, who has been unjustly detained for over four months.  Yesterday the judge postponed his hearing on grounds of a medical procedure.  This has become a pattern among cases of human rights defenders and social movement leaders, as a systematic strategy to draw out their cases as a way to prolong their detainment.

Libertad para Carlos Morales
Psalm 91:1-2, 9-10: You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.

Psalm 91:1-2, 9-10: You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”

Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your dwelling place,
no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.

What if the most painful displacement is not leaving home, but returning to discover that the place you love is slowly being made to forget you?

Walls

After a CPT delegation in the US-Mexico Borderlands, David Leaman joined our team in Palestine. In both places, he came across oppressive dividing walls. Here, he reflects on their role as colonial tools, and the common call of CPT in different parts of the world to dissolve them.
