Protest Against Fallujah Massacre!

IMC'ista | 07.11.2004 21:57 | Anti-militarism | Iraq | Cambridge

All over the UK protestors have been turning out to oppose the attack on Fallujah. As horrors unfold in Fallujah, many people want to make it clear that they view these attacks as appalling and murderous.

In Cambridge this has also happened with a variety of different protests: Graffiti has appeared overnight in various locations around Cambridge, including Alex Wood Hall, home of the Labour Party. A rush-hour protest took place at Elizabeth Way, where a banner was displayed and leaflets distributed.

At lunchtime on the day the assault started, CamPEACE called for people to protest in market square. While this protest was going on, two people climbed onto the roof of the Guild Hall [report | photos] and hung a banner saying "Fallujah: Stop the Massacre."

Cambridge people have also published items on this newswire discussing the implications of the attacks on water supplies in Fallujah [short piece | full briefing | fax action]; the mainstream media coverage of the attacks and the Government's misleading response to the Lancet Iraq Mortality Survey. If you know of other protests that have taken place or are being planned please publish details on this newswire. We must oppose this assault in everyway possible.

Hello, it's great that you demonstrated today. The Anti-War spirit is dying down and we NEED to revive it !

I passed the banner at Elizabeth Way this morning on my cicle to work but didn't have the time to stop (because i was late!) and talk to the people there ... A shame because I'd really like to know what will be happening in the next days/weeks in Cambridge concerning the Iraq War and, currently, the taking over of Fallujah.

Are any other demos planned? How can I help? Are there any meetings I can attend?

Thanks,
Thomas

As far as I'm aware there is nothing specific planned but there are options for helping to make something happen! The only specifically anti-war group still regularly meeting in Cambridge is CamPeace (contact details below) who I'm sure would welcome your input. There is also a group called the Cambridge Action Network (CAN) who organised the banner on the bridge on Monday...CAN people may well be talking about further fallujah/anti-war things that could happen at their regular weekly meeting on thursday. The meetings are open to anyone, so you should feel free to come along if you can make it :-)

I hope this info is helpful. Keep an eye on the events calendar on Cambridge IndyMedia for further information on upcoming stuff...
