PARIS CHARITY CONCERT IN MEMORY OF DANIEL PEARL
(AFP) - Paris will hold a charity concert in aid of a foundation set
up after the murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl as part of world-
wide events described by his French wife as "very touching".
Three singers have already confirmed their participation in the
French concert, to be held at Paris Casino on November 6, the
chairman of the Music Days Daniel Pearl France association, Thierry
Lachkar said.
Created by the parents of the Wall Street Journal journalist, the
Daniel Pearl Foundation has instigated a network of annual concerts
throughout the world called the World Music Days.
- "I have seen Music Days in several countries and for me, it is
very touching. At the point where words end, are no longer
efficient, music is a way of communicating which appeals directly to
the emotions", Pearl's widow Mariane told AFP.
- "I'd like to bring my son so that he sees that around something
negative you can federate authentic energies", the Paris-based
Pearl, who is also a journalist, said.
Her son, Adam, was born just a few months after his father's
murder in 2002. Mariane Pearl, whose book about the murder of her
husband is being turned into a film "A Mighty Heart", is supporting
the concert organised by the recently-created French association.
She declined to comment on the film. The concert profits will go
towards spreading the foundation's message in Europe, such as
helping young journalists coming out of college or setting up a
prize for reporting, Lachkar said.
Pearl was killed by Islamic militants after being kidnapped in
the Pakistani city of Karachi in January 2002 where he was
investigating Islamic militancy.
