In “Ron Kovic Calls for Pullout From Gulf” (Aug. 23), The Times reported on a counter demonstration led by Los Angeles businessman Robert Zirgulis. Zirgulis apparently identified himself as being from the International Human Rights Watch group. Human Rights Watch dissociates itself from all statements of Zirgulis and International Human Rights Watch.
Human Rights Watch is a nonpartisan, nonprofit U.S.-based human rights monitoring organization that investigates, documents and publicizes violations of human rights throughout the world. Human Rights Watch takes no position on the U.S military buildup in Saudi Arabia. Rather it limits its investigations and advocacy to human-rights concerns.
