Anna Smashnova-Pistolesi Declines To Response

Anna Smashnova-Pistolesi ( ISRAEL) has declined to respond to an open letter presented to her by Graham Pearce of the Auckland Tennis Association on behalf of the Palestine Human Rights Campaign, in which she was urged to support the peace process and meet with the group in Auckland to discuss ways of promoting peace through sport.

It was hoped that ways of helping young tennis players in Palestine as well as in Israel build bridges to understanding and peace through sport, could be discussed.
