USA – Supporters mourn Roman Catholic priest imprisoned for burning draft files in protest against Vietnam war. Daniel Berrigan, a Roman Catholic priest and prominent anti-war campaigner, has died at the age of 94.

Michael Benigno, a spokesman for the Jesuits USA Northeast Province, said Berrigan died on Saturday at a Jesuit infirmary at Fordham University. A peace activist, Berrigan authored more than 50 books, including several on religion and activism, as well as poetry collections. He won the prestigious Lamont Prize in 1957 for “Time Without Number”, a volume of his poetry. He and his younger brother, the Reverend Phillip Berrigan, in the 1960s became leaders of the anti-war movement against the US invasion of Vietnam. Berrigan was once imprisoned for burning draft files in a protest against the Vietnam war in 1968.(aljazeera.com)…[+]
