Vol. 77/No. 19      May 20, 2013

The article “Protest Strikes Rock Bangladesh After Factory Building Collapse: Hundreds Killed by Bosses’ Indifference to Workers’ Lives” in the May 13 issue quoted worker Sumi Abedin as saying she makes $62-65 a week. She said that is her monthly wage.

In the same issue, the article “Fight to Free Oscar López from US Prison ‘Is Fight for All of Us,’” said five Puerto Rican Nationalists were jailed in 1954 for carrying out an armed protest action in U.S. Congress. Four took part in the action — Rafael Cancel Miranda, Andrés Figueroa Cordero, Irving Flores and Lolita Lebrón. A fifth, Oscar Collazo, was imprisoned four years earlier for participating in an armed attack on the Blair House, the temporary residence of President Harry Truman.
