EL RODEO, CR - July 24 - On Monday, July 21, 2003, a University for Peace representative delivered an eviction notice to Radio For Peace International (RFPI), a shortwave radio station based since 1985 by mutual agreement on the University campus in El Rodeo, Costa Rica. The Radio station's access gate was locked with chains and patrolled by armed guards employed by the University for Peace, and two weeks were given to evacuate the facility.

University for Peace co-founder and former Costa Rican President Rodrigo Carazo Odio invited RFPI in 1985 to build and manage its own office and studios on the university's Costa Rica campus, from which RFPI has been transmitting messages of peace and hope to the planet since 1987. RFPI is the only shortwave radio station dedicated to peace and social justice in the Western Hemisphere is the only one that transmits daily United Nations programming.
