| DON'T ATTACK IRAN |
Organise
Action now Against an Attack on Iran
In
case of an attack on Iran the Stop the War Coalition is
calling for immediate countrywide protest action.
There will be a emergency
protest outside Downing Street at 6pm on the day of the attack or 12 noon
on the weekend. In the meantime we are asking our supporters to urge their
trade union branch, work place, anti-war group, community or religious
group, college or school to commit now to taking action.
We
have drawn up a draft pledge which suggests various forms
of protest in case of an attack. This can be
adapted or amended according
to circumstances. It can also be turned in to a petition. Suggestions
are:
- Hold
an emergency union meeting to co-ordinate action
- Walk
out of our workplaces or schools
- Occupy
our college
- Join
a daytime protest rally
- Join
the protest outside parliament from 6pm onwards called by Stop
the War Coalition and CND.
Please send copies of signed or supported pledges to Stop the War Coalition,
27 Britannia Street, London WC1X 9JP or e-mail us at
office@stopwar.org.uk.

| The US sabre-rattling over Iran is not only serious and disturbing, but also has uncanny resonance with the lead-up to the Iraq war. |
| The dossier prepared by the US on Iran's supposed involvement in destabilising Iraq is based on the same imaginary foundations and presumptions as the WMD dossier. The reality in Iraq is complex and evidence shows that the majority of foreign insurgents captured or found dead are Saudis. |
| What does remain clear is that the Iraqi civilian death toll has reached 600,000, with January recording the highest number of civilian deaths since the invasion in 2003. |
| As highlighted in a major report launched this week, any attack on Iran would export this misery and disaster on the Iranian people and have economic, environmental and security repercussions worldwide. |
| We Iranians, MPs and campaigners demand that the British government oppose and condemn any form of military confrontation with Iran. |
