The World Development Movement has launched a press fundraising campaign in response
to Gordon Brown’s statement yesterday on the freezing of debt repayments.
Debt campaigners
the Jubilee Debt Campaign and the World Development Movement described the plan 
by world leaders, including Gordon Brown, to introduce a moratorium on debt repayments
by tsunami-affected countries as “welcome but inadequate” saying that they need 
debt cancellation not just temporary relief from debt repayments.

Speaking about the newspaper appeal which appeared in The Independent, Head of Fundraising
and Supporter Relations at World Development Movement, Jonathan Dearth, said: “This
is a new territory for us, but we intend to recruit new supporters to campaign against
the government’s lack of action on dealing with poor country debt.”
