First meeting of 2010 Monday@5 in the IoE bar

As the subject indicates, the first meeting of the year is on Monday 11th in the Institute of Education bar at 5pm. Almost 1 year on from the horrific Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, the ongoing murderous exploits of the Israeli and Saudi Arabian governments are met with a wall of silence in the national media, while a tirade of anti-Iranian propaganda fills the headlines. Blair's appearance at the Chilcot inquiry and the Afghanistan conference (see below) are events to put in the diary, but in the meantime we've got lots to do- see you on Monday!

WAR MONGERS COME TO LONDON
On Thursday 28 January the leaders of the NATO occupation of Afghanistan are coming to London for a conference organised by Gordon Brown. President Karzai, Hilary Clinton & President Sarkozy are among those expected to attend. Stop the War will organise a protest at the conference. We will publicise time and location as soon as they are announced. BOOK THE DAY OFF WORK NOW!

TONY BLAIR ON TRIAL
Tony Blair will appear at the Iraq War Inquiry sometime in the two weeks after January 25th. Stop the War is calling for the biggest possible mobilisation at the Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre, Westminster, SW1P 3EE on the day Blair is in front of the Inquiry, trying explain away his lies which took Britain to war. As soon as we we know the date it'll be on www.stopwar.org.uk

LONDON STOP THE WAR ACTIVISTS MEETING

VIVA PALESTINA CONVOY ENTERS GAZA
One month, thousands of miles, ten countries, one ship and a four flights later, the Viva Palestina convoy has begun to enter the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Viva Palestina aid convoy, which planned to enter Gaza on 27 December but has been blocked by the Egyptian government and was viciously attacked by Egyptian riot police.
