protests in Scotland, is holding a rally to draw attention to the lies told
by the Government and the lives being lost in Iraq and Palestine.
The rally will take place from 12 noon to 2 pm on Sat 27 Sep at Mound Place,
The Mound, Edinburgh.
The following are quotes from those who will be speaking:
Isobel Lindsay (Chair of the Scottish Coalition for Justice not War) -
“The events which have emerged from the Hutton Inquiry have demonstrated the
dishonesty and deception of Tony Blair and his government in relation to the
war”
Eleanor Scott MSP (Scottish Green Party) -
“We were told that the bombardment of Afghanistan, and subsequently the
invasion of Iraq, were necessary to make the world a better place. No-one
believed it then and we've been proved right - we're making the world a
progressively less safe place for our children. We've got a huge task to do
to undo the damage done, but for our children's sakes we have to start now.”
Colin Fox MSP (Scottish Socialist Party) -
''Err in haste repent at leisure''- a quote surely at the forefront of
George Bush and Tony Blair's minds presently. After rushing headlong into an
invasion of Iraq they now find themselves occupying a land where they are
not wanted. I don't see any reason why the Iraqi people will act any
differently from peoples the world over who have faced a foreign occupation
of their land.”
Wael Shawish (Scottish Campaign for Palestinian Rights) -
“Britain’s abstention in the recent vote over Arafat at the United Nations
makes one wonder if Tony Blair still has control of his faculties.
Following the American line over Iraq has landed the Prime Minister in
trouble - and now he is doing the same over Palestine.”
Author AK Kennedy, Iraqi Susan Karim and a spokesperson from the STUC will
also be speaking.
