EUROPEAN NETWORK FOR PEACE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

19 September 2002

Dear Friends,

We are deeply worried by the gathering war hysteria about Iraq.  We have already been informed of initiatives in France and Italy (21 September), Greece (26 September) and Britain* (28 September).  Please inform us what initiatives are being taken by your movement against this war.

An early response would be appreciated.

With every good wish.

Yours sincerely,

Ken Coates
