Walden Bello, Executive Director of Focus on the Global South and Professor of Sociology and Public Administration at the University of the Philippines and Research Associate at the Transnational Institute, as well as being the writer of numerous books and articles published in various journals, such as Review of International Political Economy, Third World Quarterly, Foreign Policy, Race and Class, Le Monde Diplomatique,  Le Monde, Guardian, Boston Globe, Far Eastern Economic Review and La Jornada.

I fully support his pursuit of justice and due process, and it is regrettable that he has been deprived of them.  I have read the documents you have provided me and I am fully convinced of your innocence.  You are a man of integrity, both personally and intellectually.  In the midst of all these problems, remember that your colleagues hold you in high regard.  You are one of the world's leading progressive intellectuals and that is something that those who slander you can never take away from you.

In solidarity,

Walden
