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.
