Tony Benn MP and other speakers

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 28, 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Trafalgar Square

No more threats!  Lift the sanctions!

The threats to bomb Iraq have not yet ceased, and even after Kofi Annan's
agreement, the US military build-up in the Gulf continues.

The statements of Clinton, Blair and other US and British representatives
that they would be prepared to attack Iraq without UN authorisation have
amounted to statements of criminal intent to carry out aggression.

Their claim that US and British 'national interests' could justify such
aggression challenges not only the authority of the United Nations but the
entire conception of international legality.

The international press are invited to attend this important event in
Trafalgar Square, where all those who wish to see a just peace in the
Middle East will be urged by Tony Benn MP and other speakers to continue to
participate in the planned activities against war threats and sanctions on
Iraq.

The organisers believe that such manifestations of popular opposition to
the government's policy are an important part of the work to ensure that no
further such threats of military aggression are made, and that the
genocidal sanctions blockade, which has now killed 1.2 million Iraqis, is
lifted immediately.
