| Open Discussion THERE MUST BE NO US OR BRITISH INTERVENTION IN THE MIDDLE EAST Monday, March 7, 2011, 7.30pm Muslim Welfare Centre, 6 North Terrace, Claremont Rd , Newcastle. All welcome 7.30pm For Open Discussion Preceded by Tyneside Stop the War Monthly Meeting will be at 6.00 pm Monday, March 7, 2011, at Muslim Welfare Centre, 6 North Terrace, Claremont Rd , Newcastle. All welcome Today it was confirmed that the referral by the UN committee of Gadafi to the International Criminal court has resulted in the Court announcing it is to investigate Gadafi and his leadership for crimes against "humanity" when his crimes of being responsible for "thousands of deaths" according to the media that could never count the deaths of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan but have suddenly become experts on civilian deaths in Libya. If the allegations are true, they are a matter for the Libyan people alone and within their sovereign territory. I wonder if people realise that the USA is not party to the ICC withdrew from it and has not signed it and therefore does not recognise it along with Russian, India and China. All who referred Gadafi to the court yet these hypocrites do not even recognise this court. I wonder if people know that the ICC has investigated six referrals. None of which include the crimes against the peace, the greatest war crime of all humanity committed by Bush and Blair in invading Iraq and Afghanistan and well as the Israeli leaders who also committed war crimes against Palestine. More than a million people have died as a result of their wars millions displaced. Hundreds have been tortured and are continuing to be tortured in Guantanamo bay and elsewhere. Bradley Manning who allegedly leaked documents on these crimes of his own army has been kept in solitary confinement for 2 years with out clothes and even his glasses and is now threatened with the death penalty. Meanwhile Cameron continues British military occupation in Afghanistan and peddles arms around the Middle East yet claims to be bringing "humanitarian aid" to Libya. These are the real criminals against humanity. |
