A petition has been got up to counter the one opposing the extradition of Roman Polanski for facing charges of having sex with a minor -- where he drugged, raped and sodomised a 13 year old girl.

The original petition has been signed, to my sorrow and rage, by many actors and directors I admired. People like Harrison Ford, Tilda Swinton, Jeremy Irons and Harvey Weinstein. People whose projects I will no longer be supporting, in cinemas or in DVD release.

The counter petition is here: "Art Does Not Excuse Rape: Polanski Must Face Justice".

Please, sign, and help reach the goal of 10,000 signatures.

Harrison! Harvey! What were you thinking?

How disapointing. :-(

Thank you! Please, do circulate the URL to where you think it'll do good.

Signed and twittered.

Thank you. Sincerely.

And Kristin Scott Thomas signed the one supporting Polanski. My first thought was "that'll break Jez's heart."

I know. Jeremy Irons. Terry Gilliam. Harrison Ford (well, he did work with him).
