Sian Glaessner | 13.08.2004 10:45 | London

EMERGENCY VIGIL
Stop the killing in Iraq!
End the occupation!

WHEN: Sunday, 15 August, Noon-2pm
WHERE: 10 Downing Street, Central London

Called by Iraq Occupation Focus and Voices in the Wilderness UK.
(Speakers to be announced).

Densely-populated Iraqi cities are under fire from US-UK forces. On
Thursday, more than 75 Iraqis were killed in the US bombardment of Kut.
British troops have killed at least twenty in their assault on Amara.

The attack on Najaf, led by US warplanes, has been condemned by public
opinion across Iraq. Sixteen members of Najaf's 30 member provincial council
have resigned in protest at the assault.

In the last 48 hours, hundreds of civilians have been killed by occupying
forces in the cities of Najaf, Kut, Sadr City, Sammara, Nasiriya, Amara,
Basra, Ramadi and elsewhere.

The occupiers are the problem, not the solution.

Stop the slaughter!
