Iranian film maker and campaigner Roya Kashefi addresses people's growing concern that we may be heading towards an armed conflict with Iran.
Discussion, debate and slideshow.
Public Meeting and Slide Show
On Thursday 30th March at 7.30pm, Lancaster and District Coalition Against War are holding a public meeting and slideshow at the Friend's Meeting House, Meeting House Lane, Lancaster, to address people's growing concern that we may be heading towards an armed conflict with Iran. We have invited Iranian film maker and campaigner Roya Kashefi to address the event. She will be bringing lots of photos and stories of ordinary people living in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Roya's films on contemporary politics in Iran have been nominated for international awards. She has frequently commented on Iranian issues on international radio and television.
Much of Roya's work focuses on supporting Iranian refugees and asylum-seekers in the UK. Since 2000 she has provided the English, EU and Canadian Immigration and Appeals Courts and Tribunals with expert reports on the situation in Iran and the abuses of the Islamic Republic.
She is a key member of the Paris-based Association of Iranian Researchers who have recently met with representatives of the UK and US governments to try to avert a military attack on Iran.
Roya will present her opinion of the UKs current political response to threats of nuclear proliferation, and invite discussion of what we can do in response.

Another war for the Oil

Iran needs Uranium for its power stations, but that is good enough reason to start a war. When exactly has Iran threatened to attack the US and the UK exactly ? The World's leaders and press think we are really stupid if they are going to fool us twice - as with Iraq. The UN now controlled by Washington will give the green light soon enough and billions more of our money will be wasted on an unjust and unwinnable War while the War Pigs Bush and Blair will be unaccountable for their War Crimes and the US business contractors will line their pockets with billions of dollars.
