To mark the 100th day of British Peace Activist Norman Kamber being held hastage in Iraq, four members of Campeace anti war group held a silent vigil in front of Cambridge Guildhall this afternoon.

Even though there was a few of them, they more than made their point, as passers by slowed down to look, read their placards, and take photos of them, one of the activists holding a 'PEACE' flag, which quietly flapped in the chilly March breeze.

Despite some some rather unelightened cooments being shouted at them from one person, all present maintained a diginified silence.

There will be a national demonstration against the Iraq War on March 18th.

The US hostage was missing but Al-Jaz showed Norman Kember last night. I hope his captors are wise and merciful enough to free them soon.

CPT RESPONSE TO LATEST VIDEO

07.03.2006 12:36

"
Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) is aware that a new videotape showing members of our organization abducted in Iraq on November 26, 2005 has aired today on Al-Jazeera television. We continue to pray for their safe and speedy release so that they may return to their families and carry on their peaceful work on behalf of all Iraqi detainees.

This past weekend marked the 100th day since our friends disappeared in Baghdad. In vigils around the world, people came together to honor our missing colleagues and to call for their safe release. We also hold in our hearts the families of 14,600 Iraqis currently detained illegally by the Multi-national Forces in Iraq who likewise await the release of their loved ones. These detainees are being held without formal charges, without access to their families and legal advisors, and without recourse to a fair and open judicial process.
