Monday 8th April - 7.30 pm, Rumi's Cave, 26 Willesden Lane, Kilburn NW6 7ST.
Rafeef Ziadah, Palestinian
artist and activist from War on Want will speak on Drone Wars-Death by Remote Control
This spring,
the UK will double its number of armed drones in
Afghanistan and will begin operating drones from RAF Waddington
near Lincoln. Over the past four years,
the US has launched hundreds of drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and
Libya, with reports showing thousands of people have been killed. In Afghanistan
where the US and UK have launched over 1,500 drone strikes, it is not known how
many people have perished. In Gaza too, many Palestinians have been killed
by Israeli drone strikes.
Drones have
become the latest weapon of choice in the so-called war on terror. Drones make
it much easier for politicians to launch military intervention and assassinate
people anywhere in the world. Drones are making the world a much more
dangerous place.
Come
to this Brent Stop the War meeting to learn more about what is happening and discuss this
important issue. ALL WELCOME
