BUCK STREET, LONDON NW1 8NJ

Over a million violent Iraqi deaths since 2003. Many more due to breakdown of hospitals, water pollution and depleted uranium contamination.
Over a thousand professionals, academics, journalists, and medics murdered.
4.5 million Iraqis displaced Iraqis, half abroad. With little education and job prospects a powder keg of anger and violence is threatening the whole region and the world. This dwarfs the scale of the Palestinian displacement of half- a century ago.
30,000 Iraqi detainees at any one time by the US forces, and twice that number by the Western-armed Iraqi forces, ridden with sectarianism and criminal gangs. The ‘Iraqi government’ admits to 700 women detainees accused of terrorism. Rape and abuse cases have never been investigated.
Western multinational Corporations are making blatant oil fields grab, encouraging partition, ethnic and sectarian cleansing in Iraq.
Speakers include:
Sabah Al Mukhtar, International Law Lawyer
Mazin Yunis, Director of Iraqi League
Haifa Zangana, Author and Activist
Mohamed Kamil Aref, Science journal Editor
Prof. Haitham Al Nahi Secretary General of AfDL
Prof. John Akker, Executive Secretary of CARA.
Solidarity: for Independent & Unified Iraq. A group of Iraqi women based in the UK.
