Call to action to stop UK troop mobilisation in Germany
People Against War (PAW) | 21.11.2002 12:18
British troops likely to leave from Germany within the next month. Act now against Gütersloh base - details below.
The UN inspectors are due to start their inspections in Iraq next week and then have 60 days to submit their report. This takes us to the 26th of January. According to the BBC report any air attacks on Iraq can't go on between April and October because of strong winds and sandstorms.
It was announced yesterday that British troops, including the 1st Armoured Division will leave from Gütersloh in Germany (address below) to take part in any offensive in Iraq.
Given the weather restrictions and the report deadline, it seems likely that an attack will happen in late January / early February.
December is a crucial time to prevent or slow down militry action. We need to take action against these troops. Write / phone them to express your concerns, clog up their fax machine, or better still blockade this base.
