Jase | 11.11.2004 14:32 | Sheffield

Forthcoming anti-war events in Sheffield, mainly Sheffield Stop the War Coalition stuff so not comprehensive.

1. Al Asria dance tour postponed
2. Friday 12th Nov - Naming the Dead

5. Wednesday 24th Nov - Sheffield STW Open Meeting

7. Saturday 11th Dec - Bring the Troops Home for Christmas


1. Al Asria dance tour postponed

Sadly the Al Asria dance tour has been postponed till a later date, possibly in February. Israel has closed the borders of Gaza and the children have not been allowed to travel. There will still be an event on November 20th venue and further details will be announced later (see www.sheffieldpsc.org.uk)


2. Friday 12th Nov - Naming the Dead

Occupation forces do not keep a record of those they kill in Iraq, officials are quick to gloss over the soldiers ground to dust by the war machine, but for others the dead are loved ones whose memory will always live on. In solidarity with them speakers from trades unions, religious groups, political representatives and many others will read the names of some of those killed by the twisted governance of George Bush and Tony Blair.

Please bring a candle or torch to shine a light for those who have died in darkness.

From 4:30pm, outside the Town Hall, Sheffield


3. Friday 12th Nov - Talk on the Ministry of Peace

Talk by Diana Basterfield about the Ministry of Peace and how we can support the development of a culture of peace. For more info contact  rena.smith@tiscali.co.uk

4. Tuesday 23rd November - 'What Next for Iraq?' Public Meeting
