Campaign to End Iraq Sanctions invites you to a public meeting --------------------------------------------------------------- When: Monday, 9 Oct. at 7 PM Where: Teachers Club, Parnell Square Speaker: Andrea Needham Andrea has been actively involved with the organisation, 'Voices in the Wilderness', which is campaigning for the ending of 10 years imposed sanctions on the Iraqi people. She has taken part in many sanctions breaking delegations to Iraq, risking a goal sentence of up to five years for this 'crime' On the night of January 29th, 1996 Andrea and three other women, broke into a high security hanger in Warton, England and dis-armed a Hawk Jet Fighter which was to be exported to the Indonesian military. Nobel peace Prize Winner Dr. Jos Ramos-Horta, the East Timor Leader in exile, was one of those who gave evidence for the women at their trial. The jury found them not guilty, accepting their defence that they had acted to prevent the crime of genocide - and they were set free, having spent six months on remand.
