8th December 2004, Manchester, UK. Supporters of anti-Iraq war
groups from the US, Britain and Iraq hold a rally against the Iraq war at
the Unitarian Chapel, Cross Street, Manchester city centre.
The public meeting is entitled: "End the occupation of Iraq - Bring all the
troops home". The line up of speakers is as follows:
Michael Hoffman: Michael took part in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and
on his return to Pennsylvania became involved in the anti-war
movement. He is co-founder and national coordinator of Iraq Veterans
Against the War.
Lou Plummer: Lou served in the US army in the 80?s and is the
grandson, son, brother and father of men who have served or are serving
the military. He is a leading spokesman for Military Families Speak Out
and Bring Them Home Now.
Rae Street: Rae is a well known peace activist based in the North West
of England. She has travelled the world as part of her campaigning. She
is vice-chair of national Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
Dr Salam Ismael: Salam is general secretary of the Doctors for Iraq
Society. He was in Iraq from the start of the war to June of this year. He
worked in Fallujah during the first seige in April 2004.
John Rees: John is one of the co-founder members of the Stop the War
Coalition. He has spoken at meetings across the country and in the
Middle East
The meeting is chaired by Ron Senchak. Ron was in the US navy from
1965-68. He joined the movement against the Vietnam war when he left
the navy.
The rally launches the Greater Manchester campaign for the 19th March
national demonstration in London, which is part of a global day of
action. This day marks the second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.
Demonstrations will be taking place in other countries around the world
on the same day.
Dr Ismael speaks movingly about the slaughter of two of his own doctor
colleagues during the recent attack on Fallujah and reports that over
3000 Iraqis have been killed during the attack. He uses a Powerpoint
presentation during his speech showing photos of atrocities committed
during the attack on Fallujah.
The two US speakers speak of their brave and tireless work in the US
opposing the war. Rae Street exposes the hypocrisy of British
warmongers--drawing attention to the fact that Britain has its own
weapons of mass destruction. Ron Sanchek, a Vietnam war veteran
resident in Manchester, chairs the meeting and speaks about the
pressing need to build for the London demonstration against the war on
19th March 2005. John Rees talks about how the anti-war movement
has succeeded in keeping the war issue at the top of the agenda in the
run up to the coming election.
After all that has happened in Iraq over the past year and half, the sight
of people from countries that are on opposites sides of an ongoing war
sharing the same platform is remarkable and inspiring. All the speakers
receive a warm response and there is a determination to continue the
struggle to end this insane war.
