International Campaign Against Killing And Stoning Of Women In Kurdistan
To Iraqi Government and Iraqi Officials in USA We Protest against “honor Killings” in front of the Iraqi embassy in Washington DC Killings in the name of so called “honor” and violence and terror against women are a daily phenomenon in Iraq and Kurdistan. The governments are not taking any measures to protect women and to put an end to these barbaric crimes. Du'a, a 17-year-old Yezidi girl, was brutally stoned to death in public, and yet the Iraqi government hasn’t denounced this criminal act or made any efforts to bring the killers to justice. In fact, they have now released the three police officers who were present at the time of the stoning and did nothing to save Du'a. We protest in front of the Iraqi embassy in Washington DC to demand: – 1. That the Iraqi government takes responsibility for the lives of Women and that theytake immediate action to bring the killers of Du'a to justice. - 2. Amend Iraqi Law to ban so-called “Honor Killings”. - 3. Express our demands for Women’s freedom of choice, freedom of expression, and directtheir own lives according to their own wishes. Supporters are: Amnesty International many organizations in USA, England, Canada,and Europe

In Memory of Du’a’s Love We Will Cast 17 Red Roses From the Golden Gate Bridge.
Du’a Khalil Aswad was stoned to death in public for falling in love, with a man outside of her faith and tribe. Her stoning was witnessed by almost 1000 men who did nothing to prevent this brutal murder. In our eyes Du’a was a symbol of bravery and she stepped outside the traditional norms of the Yezidi tribe/faith. Please join us to commemorate her Love and cast 17 Red Roses into the Ocean in our admiration for Du’a’s Love and express our demands for women’s freedom of choice, freedom of expression, and direct their own lives according to their own wish.

Friday, November 3, 2006 Will Saddam Verdict Timing Manipulate U.S. Election? Interviews Available The verdict and sentencing of Saddam Hussein are scheduled to be announced on Sunday, November 5, just two days before the U.S. midterm elections. The following analysts are available for interviews: RICHARD FALK, (310) 395-0674, (805) 448-1453, rfalk@princeton.edu , www.transnational.org/tff/people/r_falk.html Falk is an emeritus professor of international law at Princeton University and coauthor most recently of the book "Crimes of War: Iraq." He said today: "It should come as no surprise that the final verdict in the Saddam Hussein criminal trial seems timed to coincide with the November U.S. midterm elections. ... "The U.S. government should be ashamed to have debased international justice by orchestrating every phase of this trial in Baghdad from start to finish to divert domestic public opinion in this country from the dismal failure of its Iraq policy. It is a sad day for American democracy if the citizens of this country fall for such a cheap propaganda trick amid a dreadful war that is wasting the lives of its young soldiers and bringing massive suffering to the Iraqi people." SUREYA SAYADI, MD, (925) 719-1788, (925) 327-0001, drpeacess@yahoo.com , www.peacepalpitations.com A Kurdish doctor and academic now living in the U.S., Sayadi said today: "I've been watching the trial very closely -- the Kurdish channels on satellite TV show it late night. Hearing the stories from the victims, how they were blinded, how their families were killed is just heartbreaking. But now the U.S. government is using these people's death and suffering for an election. Since the 1970s, the U.S. government has played with Kurdish lives. They are playing with Iraqi lives and now they're even playing with American lives. She added: "The trial is supposed to show justice, but it doesn't. It doesn't examine who gave Saddam the chemical and biological agents to kill people -- it was the U.S. and Germany. If we were really after justice, there would be an international tribunal, like for Rwanda. Instead, the U.S. government just wants to use the trial of Saddam to continue its policies in Iraq today. I don't know whether to laugh or cry." See: "November Surprise? Why Hasn't Mainstream Media Connected the Dots Between Saddam's Judgment Day and the Midterm Elections?" by Tom Engelhardt |
