EMERGENCY PROTEST AT PARLIAMENT

BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW

Called by Stop the War Coalition

The tragic death of four people, including three Scottish soldiers, around Camp Dogwood yesterday shows the criminal irresponsibility of Blair's war policy. This disaster comes a day after Bush's election victory which has increased the anxiety of millions round the world. Meanwhile the bombardment of Fallujah continues as US troops prepare a bloody invasion of the city.

For all these reasons Stop the War Coalition have called a protest at Parliament Square on Wednesday 10th November at 5.30pm. The protest will be attended by members of British military families including families of the Black Watch regiment.

The protest will call for all British troops to be withdrawn immediately.

Members of British military families will call for all other families to join together in an urgent national campaign.

All Stop the War groups in London and the South East are asked to mobilise maximum numbers for this vital protest.

At 4pm: Military families will hand in a wreath at Downing Street

5.30 - 7pm: Protest and Rally at Parliament Sq.
