In case you haven't heard yet (Mil came to do a talk in cambridge last month): ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sanctions-breakers arrested On 18 March, Milan Rai and Martin Thomas were arrested and questioned by Customs on suspicion of attempting to illegally export children's antibiotics to Iraq on 10 February. The medicines were seized; Milan and Martin took children's vitamins from Jordan into Iraq instead. If prosecuted and convicted, Milan and Martin face up to five years in prison. Voices in the Wilderness UK A new group has been formed to continue hand-delivering medicines to sick children in Iraq, breaking US/UK/UN sanctions. Voices in the wilderness uk will organise delegations to Iraq, educate people about the effects of sanctions, and defend anyone who is prosecuted.
