2-4pm, Downing Street
Protest against Iraqi, US and British military occupation action
Hundreds are dead, public infrastructure has been destroyed, and
electricity and water supplies cut. Thousands are at risk due to food
scarcity and a lack of access to medical services. The Iraqi government,
US and UK attacks on the South of Iraq and Baghdad have compounded the
existing humanitarian crisis in the occupied country.
This protest calls for an immediate end to Iraqi government, US and UK
military hostilities.
The picket is called by Iraqi Democrats Against Occupation and supported
by the Stop the War Coalition, Naftana (UK Support Committee for the
Iraqi Federation of Oil Unions) and Iraq Occupation Focus
Sabah Jawad of Iraqi Democrats Against the Occupation said:
"The puppet Maliki government is embarking on a carnage in southern Iraq
and Baghdad to quell public opposition to the occupation. This
repression serves to implement US and British economic plans for the
privatization and exploitation of Iraq, particularly its natural
resources. This action has a sinister impact on democratic and
independent trade unions in the south of the country and the whole of
Iraq."
