A dear friend, a teammate, a profoundly principled human being, a single-minded, unrelenting voice for Palestine has fallen silent.

A wonderfully befitting homage to Anthony Lawson paid by his son:

R.I.P. Anthony
R.I.P. Anthony
Anthony Charles Ashton Lawson passed away on the 8th of January, 2015 in Phuket, Thailand, at the age of 79 due to colon cancer. He was born on March 31st, 1935 to Lionel Lawson; a violinist and leader of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and Queenie Ashton; a renowned soprano, radio actress. In early life he sought work in the field of radio, making a name for himself as one of the best radio editors in Australia, later moving to the UK where he progressed into camera work, eventually becoming an award-winning commercial director and producer, having shot advertisements across Europe, in the US and in Asia. He moved to Hong Kong to take up positions as creative director, and also lent his voice to various commercials; most notably to Cathay Pacific and Star TV.
Having always valued the truth and having always taken a stand against injustice throughout his life; traits passed down to him by his mother, he spent his final years using his vast experience to shed light on the events of 9/11, and the terrible world events that have since followed. He is survived by two sons and a daughter.
“A principled voice (such a voice!) and expert videographer for humanity has fallen silent. I am deeply saddened by this news. Anthony sensed and reported with visceral certainty the wrongs visited upon the hapless Christians and Muslims of Palestine by the criminally psychotic ideology Zionism and its adherents. I am duly proud that I once facilitated Anthony’s voiceover of a superior article on Palestine-Israel written by New Mexico’s Joe Mowrey; it was presented multiple times on the Oahu public-access TV system circa 2006 by me and my co-producer, the since-departed Dr. Ramsis G. Lutfy. May both R.I.P.” — Robert Stiver.
