Paying the Price - Iraq meeting in Manchester

The Iraq Solidarity Campaign | 16.01.2005 21:55 | Social Struggles

Before the War, Invasion and Occupation of Iraq, Over One Million Iraqi Children died, in the silent Holocaust that was the UN imposed Sanctions regime, between the years of 1991-2003.

"By the United Nations own admission, 5,000 children die every month because of a shortage of medicine created by Sanctions imposed by the United Nations" Andy Kershaw, the Independent.

Paying the Price - Saving the Children of Iraq, is going to be looking at the lives of the ordinary Iraqi people and their families during the Sanctions era, along with the work of those heroic people and organisations such as CARE International, which was headed by Margaret Hassan and the Human Relief Foundation, who through war and the social destruction of an entire country, continued to go back to Iraq and help the ordinary Iraqi people in their daily struggles against poverty, starvation and the loss of an entire generation.

Paying the Price - Saving the Children of Iraq is a special public meetings that will be addressed by award winning, free-lance journalist Ms. Felicity Arbuthnot, a devoted campaigner for the Iraqi people, who through television documentaries, radio shows, endless speaking tours around the world and through newspaper articles - managed to expose to the people in the Western world, the true destructive nature, that this policy has had on a part of the world, that is heralded as: "the cradle of civilisation".
