I sent this a year ago and got no reply - not even an acknowledgement. ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: Self <mark> To: info@amnesty.org.uk Subject: Iraq Date sent: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 19:01:46 I am very concerned that AI seems to have done nothing about the situation in Iraq. The US and the UK are maintaining a ferocious assault on the Iraqi people and their fundamental human rights. The main instrument has been the sanctions which cannot be relaxed as these two states hold a veto in the UN Security Council. This follows the Gulf War when civilian infrastructure was deliberately targetted eg sewage treatment, power generation, water works - as an instrument of terror against the whole population. I realise that AI would find it difficult to prevent this type of military action by the US but I think that it is vital to campaign against sanctions which are deliberately targetting civilinas. Could you please address this issue? ------- End of forwarded message ------- Mark Parkinson Cornwall -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a discussion list run by the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq For removal from list, email soc-casi-discuss-request@lists.cam.ac.uk Full archive and list instructions are available from the CASI website: http://welcome.to/casi
