PRESS RELEASE
One year on - No more war, no more lies
End the cycle of violence says CND
15 March 2004: for immediate use
Press Conference - 11 am Tuesday 16 March,
Stop the War Offices, 17 Britannia Street, London, WC1X 9JP
CND, the Stop the War Coalition and the Muslim Association of Britain
are holding a national demonstration on Saturday 20th March to mark the
1st anniversary of the Iraq war. The demonstration is calling for an end
to the lies surrounding the war. Kate Hudson, Chair of CND will attend
the press conference along with representatives from Stop the War Coalition
and MAB. They will be joined by Jeremy Corbyn MP, George Galloway MP and
Human Rights Lawyer Louise Christian.
Many thousands are expected to attend the demonstration which will assemble
at 12 noon at Speakers Corner in Hyde Park and march to Trafalgar Square
for a rally. The march is part of an international day of action against
war, mourning the loss of innocent lives through illegal aggression which
has resulted in a humanitarian disaster and fuelled rather then diminished
terrorist activity.
Kate Hudson, Chair of CND said:
“One year on from the war the British people have still not had
the answers to their legitimate questions. Why did we go into an illegal
war? On what justification? On what evidence? Who made those decisions?
These questions are not going to go away and our government sinks further
in to disrepute by avoiding them. We continue to demand an independent
public inquiry into the war.
ENDS
