UPDATE - Sean was flown to Bangkok yesterday (10.11.08) and is expected to be hospitalised with spinal injuries for at least another two weeks.
I spoke with Sean this afternoon by telephone from his hospital bed in Bumrungrad hospital - Bangkok - and obviously he is still very down. He told me that in Mae Sot - where he was located in the north of Thailand - he had for some time been under very obvious surveillance by the Thai authorities - and was in fear of his life because of his political activities. He thought that he had been set-up in Thailand.
This is the earlier story from Visibility 9-11:
Colorado 9-11 Activist Sean Fitzgerald Needs Your Help - Tue, 4 November 2008
In this impromptu episode of Visibility 9-11, Michael speaks with Sean Fitzgerald, an active member of Colorado 9/11 Visibility and We Are Change Colorado before he and his family moved to Thailand. Sean and his wife, Allyson, have been working in Mae Sot, Thailand. Allyson, Sean's wife works for the renowned Dr. Cynthia Clinic that provides free care for Burmese refugees, and Sean has been teaching Thai children to prepare them for college. They have a 6 year-old son, Cirian, for whom Sean is a most devoted father.
Sean has been outspoken in Thailand about 9/11 information that contradicts the official story. Lately, he has clearly noticed that he was being followed by people he thinks are Thai military intelligence. This morning as he was riding his bicycle, Sean was chased by at least two suspicious, official looking vehicles and in the process of trying to elude them, was hit head-on by a truck. He thinks that this incident was not accidental.
He is now being treated in the Mae Sot Hospital with a spinal injury. He is rational and thinking clearly. He thinks that at any moment, he could be arrested, as military intelligence personnel have been entering his room, observing him, and then leaving. This happened once during this interview.
Here is what you can do:
Do you know anyone who has connections in Thailand, or who speaks Thai? If so let me know right away, or contact them to see if they will help us.
Call the US Embassy/State Dept in Bangkok, Thailand: phone: 011-66-2-205-4000
Call the US Consulate in Chaing Mai: phone 011-66-53-107-700
When Calling Thailand, please consider the time difference in that Thailand is 8 hours ahead of us in the Mountain Time Zone.
Call your US representative.
You can tell them that Sean Fitzgerald is in danger. Thai military intelligence are threatening him while he is under observation in the Mae Sot Hospital. Ask why a US citizen is being threatened when he has committed no crime whatsoever. Let them know that we see this as a life or death issue and we are watching and want guarantees that Sean will be safe, whatever this takes.
