First Pre-Emptive Peace Strike - Don't Attack Iran

Ian | 20.03.2007 20:12 | Terror War | London

A report on the first pre-emptive peace strike asking the government not to attack Iran that took place in Parliament Square today.








The first pre-emptive peace strike took place in Parliament Square today. It was a day where workers united to withdraw their labour, take a day off work and show the government that they were opposed to any steps that might lead to an attack on Iran. Throughout the day over 50 people turned up to register their disapproval of any plans the government may have to launch another war.

The day started at 10am with the assembling of banners signifying the purpose of this SOCPA-authorised protest. At 1pm a group went over to the debate on the Iraq war taking place at Central Hall Westminster and leafletted people there. A outburst of chanting took place at 4.30 and at 6pm a sound system was set up. This enabled speakers such as Brian Haw and Dee from the Global Woman's Strike to make speaches on the topic of Iran.
