Welcome to the website of Kurt Stand and Lisa Foley Stand. Halfway into 2010, we are watching the light at the end of the tunnel get brighter and bigger. In the coming year, Kurt will begin to make serious plans for his release -- sometime in 2012. Meanwhile, he is writing and teaching, staying in touch with news of the world, staying in touch with friends and family. Lisa is letting her mind wander. Please enjoy these postings, feel free to get in touch.

Members of Kurt's support committee in Germany demonstrate their solidarity and publicize his case at the annual Luxemburg-Liebknecht Festival in Berlin.
