Demonstration in Baghdad against UN producing a pretext for US war
An international solidarity delegation of about 50 persons will be in Iraq from December 29, 2002 to January 3, 2003.
The delegation is aiming to investigate with their own eyes how the embargo affected and worsened Iraqi people´s life. By going to Iraq on the eve of war the participants coming from various European countries want to express their opposition against the war driven by the US and their allies.
The delegation is due to visit especially those areas and sites like Basra and the poor quarters of Baghdad, who have been most heavily struck by war and embargo.
On January 2, 2003 an int´l demonstration against the submissiveness of the United Nations to be used by the US to legitimate their impending aggression will take place in front of the UNO premises in Baghdad.
