Interview with Jean Parker from Radio For Peace International
Why is the UN-mandated University for Peace in Costa Rica trying to close down Radio For Peace International (RFPI)? RFPI includes United Nations programming in its line-up, yet it would seem that they are being denied the right of free speech.

For nearly a year, Radio For Peace International (RFPI, http://www.rfpi.org) has faced the threat of eviction, despite no formal explanation being given.
Broadcasting messages of peace and freedom from Costa Rica on shortwave, RFPI fills a unique niche, yet the University for Peace, where they are based, is trying to close them down.
The interview with Jean Parker, a member of the Board of Directors of RFPI, goes into how the radio station staff are being intimidated, and touches on the role played by Maurice Strong in the whole affair.
