PRESS RELEASE : BRISTOL-STOP-THE-WAR

PAUL MARSDEN (MP) BACKS SHUT DOWN OF BRISTOL

**********************************

Bristol-Stop-the-War has issued a call for the permanent shut-down of Bristol in the event of war against Iraq. This call for action now carries the explicit backing of Paul Marsden MP (Shrewsbury & Atcham)

"If Iraq is attacked while their remains no provocation from Saddam Hussein I will back your peaceful aim to close down Bristol. This mad, headlong rush into war appals me & I support the demands of MPs to recall Parliament before the official end of recess.
Whilst billions of dollars are spent on the military build up, 13 million people in Southern Africa face starvation. The US and Europe should be helping to feed the hungry of this world and not bombing the innocent. Good luck with the peaceful Stop the City campaign.
Together we can stop this war mongering and make world leaders face up to their responsibilities in helping developing nations and protecting our environment." Paul Marsden (MP)

CAMPAIGN TO STOP THE CITY OF BRISTOL
--------------------------------------------
On the evening following the outbreak of war with Iraq we call upon everyone to converge at the Bristol Peace Vigil. On May Day we proved we can stop this city. We will do so again if Iraq is attacked.
The preparations for war against Iraq intensify with each day that passes. George Bush & Tony Blair claim that this war is necessary because Iraq might possess weapons of mass
destruction.
The only certainty is that the U.S & U.K possess nuclear weapons, & that Depleted Uranium has been used against Iraq. Radioactive war is being waged in our name. Any attack on Iraq will further inflame the Middle east.
The conflicts in Palestine & Kashmir clearly mirror the war in Afghanistan. This is a lawless world order which sanctions the invasion of entire nations in response to lone terrorist attacks. This insanity must be stopped.
-------------------------------------------------
PEACE VIGIL : Mon-Fri 5.30-6.30 & Sat 3.00-4.00
(Bristol City Centre, St. Augustines Parade
Opposite The Hippodrome)
These times will be open-ended in the event of war
