DR VLASAK AND HIS WIFE BANNED FROM ENTRY INTO THE UK

ARCrew | 26.08.2004 10:01 | Animal Liberation

American trauma surgeon Dr Jerry Vlasak and his nurse wife Pamelyn Ferdyn have been refused entry into the United Kingdom by David Blunkett.

Jerry Vlasak was due to speak at AR2004, an international animal rights conference that will be held in Kent from September the 3rd to the 6th.

Jerry was coming to talk about the scientific aspect of the anti vivisection movement.The fact that Jerry came to speak in April at World day for lab animals without incident seems to have escaped David Blunkett.|

This is a typical knee jerk reaction and a grave day for freedom of speech in the UK.What are the government and their friends in the drugs industry frightened of? Are they really so frightened of a life saving trauma surgeon speaking the truth in the UK? If this is the case then the Animal Rights movement in the UK must be having one hell of an impact.

In a country where we regularly see everything from the British National Party inciting racial hatred to rap stars inciting the murder of gays and lesbians. The only people the Home Office stop are Dr Jerry Vlasak and his wife from entering the UK to talk about the non validity of animal testing.

The UK has allowed present dictators such as Robert Mugabe to swan into the UK and allowed Pinochet into the UK both have been personally responsible for many thousands of deaths. Yet they ban Dr .Jerry Vlasak who spends his working life saving lives in the hospital theatre. What a perverse decision.
