BIG BEN TO BAGHDAD BUS
Dear List Member,
The MARIAM APPEAL has launched a major new international initiative to
highlight the campaign against sanctions and to bring to an end the
suffering of the people of Iraq.
³The Big Ben to Baghdad² convoy will be led by an especially modified red
London double decker bus which will travel through the UK before heading
on to France and Spain. It will then cross into Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia,
Libya, and Egypt before reaching Jordan and finally crossing into Iraq.
By driving through these destinations and holding major rallies in key
cities, we hope to highlight the devastation and cruel suffering that
sanctions have caused. As man of you know nearly 7,000 children a month
are now dying in Iraq because of the effects sanctions have had on medical
supplies and services.
Below you will find details of the UK rallies. Now is a particularly
poignant time for the Appeal, as, sadly, Mariam Hamza, after whom the
Appeal is named, is critically ill having been diagnosed with a secondary
cancer.
Please note the Big Ben to Baghdad bus can be followed on the web at
