Anti-war rally

Saturday, October 7, 2006 - 10:00

Around 250 people gathered on September 23 to voice their anger at the ongoing occupation of Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon by the imperialist "coalition of the killing". A letter to the crowd on behalf of Jack Thomas's family said: "If Jack had not been targeted it would be someone else. This is why solidarity with the Muslim community is so important right now." The rally marched to Trades Hall, where a fundraiser for Doctors for Iraq and Human Appeal International was held later that afternoon.
