Emergency Protest Against Attack on Basra this Wednesday - Downing Street

STOP THE ATTACKS - END THE OCCUPATION - NO BLOOD FOR OIL

Emergency Picket
Wednesday 2 April
2-4pm, Downing Street

Protest against Iraqi, US and British military occupation action

Hundreds are dead, public infrastructure has been destroyed, and electricity and water supplies cut. Thousands are at risk due to food scarcity and a lack of access to medical services. The Iraqi government, US and UK attacks on the South of Iraq and Baghdad have compounded the existing humanitarian crisis in the occupied country.

This protest calls for an immediate end to Iraqi government, US and UK military hostilities.

The picket is called by Iraqi Democrats Against Occupation and supported by Stop the War Coalition, Naftana (UK Support Committee for the Iraqi Federation of Oil Unions) and Hands Off Iraqi Oil.
