US detaining 10,000 Iraqis
Sunday 07 March 2004

More than 10,000 Iraqi men and boys are being kept in jail by their US occupiers, with the youngest captive being just 11 years old.

According to the New York Times on Sunday, one village north of Baghdad is now completely devoid of men – even grandfathers as old as 75 make it to the detention centres.

In Abu Sifa, it is only women who till the fields, care for children, guard their homes and carry the heavy sacks of grapefruit to market.

Few know where their relatives are being held.

3. Write on Mari333!

Our occupation of Iraq is not bringing stability or democracy; its not even giving us cheaper gas prices.

The long-term political, economic and social development of Iraq
is not the responsibility of the U.S. government (and US taxpayers).


BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!
