1) STOP THE CITY ON THE OUTBREAK OF WAR
We call upon everyone to converge at the Bristol Peace Vigil on the evening following the outbreak of war with Iraq. Preparations for war against Iraq intensify with each day that passes. Our response is to build our movement day by day, and to shut down our city on the outbreak of war. (Vigil times will be open ended in event of war)
PEACE VIGIL TIMES: Mon-Fri 5:30-6:30pm & Sat 3:00-4:00pm
(Bristol City Centre. Opposite the Hippodrome. St. Augustines Parade)

2) URANIUM WEAPONS HAVE BEEN USED ON IRAQ
"During the Gulf War of 1991 allied forces used around 350 tons of depleted uranium weapons. More recently, a highly secret and classified 'dense metal' has been used in hard target guided weapons. It is pyrophoric and twice the density of steel. The only metal to fulfill these requirements is uranium. If uranium is used in large explosive hard target warheads (up to 1500 kg) it will create levels of radioactive contamination 100 times higher than the depleted uranium weapons used in the Gulf War.
The use of uranium weapons will permanently contaminate the land with alpha, beta & gamma radiation. The half life of U-238 is 4.5 billion years. In Iraq it has already entered the water, soil and food chain. In some areas targeted in 1991 childhood malignancies have increased by 384% and leukaemia by 300%. When tiny particles are inhaled or ingested they can lodge in the body causing cancers, birth malformations, kidney damage, immune breakdown and neurological problems.
The US attack planned for Iraq would release about another 1000 tons of uranium into the environment. This is tantamount to genocide and will affect allied ground troops and neighbouring countries as well as the Iraqi population. The hazard of using thousands of radiological weapons could be as high as that caused by several tactical nuclear weapons. We should be calling for UN inspections of all hard target weapons systems and manufacturing facilities in the US, UK, France and Israel."
