In the last Newsletter, a feature about an American artist's commemoration of Dr. Aafia contained an error about the artist's name. Here is a correction:
The artist who unveiled the banner (pictured below) after learning of Dr. Aafia's story is named Max Jackson, not Lynn Jackson as previously stated. Mr. Jackson is also a farmer in addition to being an artist.
