THis will be of interest to those interested in going to the
demonstration this weekend. It does not come under C.A.S.I's umbrella but
there are a large number of people interested in going so we might try to
go as a group, from cambridge.

DON'T BOMB IRAQ; END ECONOMIC SANCTIONS
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 14
"Encircle the Ministry of 'Defence', London"
Gather 12 noon on the Whitehall side of the Mo"D" building.
There will be some short speeches, a letter and petitions will be handed in
to Downing Street, and then there will be an attempt to surround the
building. People are invited to attach hearts or photos -- of Iraqi people,
of children -- to the building, or the crowd-control barriers.
There will be a short silence held in memory of those Iraqis who have
already died as a result of both the Gulf War and economic sanctions.
After one o'clock there will be the possibility of taking part in a symbolic
"die-in".
