THE PEOPLE'S DOSSIER VERSUS THE DODGY DOSSIER

Have you submitted your question to Tony Blair for the People's Dossier, which Stop the War will be presenting to the Iraq Inquiry?

For the attention of:H.E. Dr. Ali Abdussalam Trek president of the UN General Assembly

The secretary General of the UN : Ban Ki Moon

Mr Thomas Hammarberg
Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights

Mr Abdulmuhaimen Al-Oraibi
Charge d’Affaires of the Embassy of the Republic of Iraq

I urge you to take whatever action you can in relation to the following:

I understand that 126 professional women who have worked for the previous regime have been sentenced to death by the Iraqi government, and that it is expected that the executions will be carried out before the Muslim feast of pilgrimage (in 2 weeks time). Their only crime appear to be serving under the previous regime. Amongst those to be executed the ex Head Nuclear Energy Centre and the ex minister of Work and Social Affairs. These proposed executions should be stopped immediately.

126 Iraqi women to be executed soon
