STOP THE WAR COALITION NOMINATED FOR CHANNEL 4 NEWS MOST
INFLUENTIAL POLITICAL FIGURES OF THE DECADE AWARD
It has just been announced that the Stop the War Coalition has been nominated and shortlisted for the highly prestigious Channel 4 News award for most influential political figures of the decade.
This is subject to a public vote to decide the winner, which will be announced on the night of the awards at
Channel 4 on the 23 January 2008, and the awards themselves
will be televised on the 27 January.
Please, please.
We urge all anti-war activists, supporters, local groups and organisations to do all they can before 18th January to mobilise the vote for Stop the War Coalition.
At a time when warmongering politicians, with the help of the mainstream media, are downplaying the continuing nightmare of war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan, this will be an opportunity to show that the majority of people who have/watch Channel 4 want these wars to end and
all foreign troops to be withdrawn.
TO VOTE:
See http://www.channel4.com/news/
click on political figure vote (today (9/1) it is in right hand column under Benazir's photo).
vote for anti-Iraq war protesters, (it's e-mail by outlook express though)
in peace,

GALWAY: Liam Mellows to don orange boiler suit to mark 6th anniversary of Guantanamo & use of Shannon by CIA torture flights
GALWAY ALLIANCE AGAINST WAR
LIAM MELLOWS ORANGE BOILER SUIT PROTEST
The Galway Alliance Against War is once again in the eye of a political storm in the city after it has announced that Liam Mellows statue in Eyre Sq will be dressed in an orange boiler suit this Saturday, 26th January, at 1.30pm to mark both the 6th anniversary of the opening of the US Guantanamo prison camp and the use of Shannon airport by CIA special rendition flights. A former Guantanamo inmate has been invited from Britain to address the open-air public meeting.
The local Palestinian solidarity group will also contribute to the event with a speaker as well as music and song. It is concerned at the silence by the Irish government and RTE on the crisis in Gaza, where 40 people, including women and children, have been slain by the Israeli armed forces in the last week.
This month the US Guantanamo Prison Camp will be in existence 6 years. To mark this macabre anniversary and to highlight the Irish government s complicity in Washington s extraordinary rendition programme, i.e. in the kidnapping, torturing and even killing of people, Galway Alliance Against War intends to hold a public rally at Liam Mellows statue on Eyre Square at 1.30pm on Saturday 26th January. GAAW hopes to have a former Guantanamo inmate as one of the speakers as well as a number of local public representatives.
If the striped uniform of the Nazi concentration camps is one of the symbols of the depths of inhumanity in the 20th century, then surely the orange boiler suits of Guantanamo portray a similar message for this new century. As an act of solidarity with the prisoners of Guantanamo and in opposition to CIA torture planes being allowed to use Shannon Airport, Liam Mellows will for this Saturday event don the orange prison garb of this infamous camp.
