March 20: A Global Day of Action Against War
From: Peace Action Wellington
Date: 19 March 2007

Wellingtonians will converge on Parliament to commemorate the invasion of Iraq four
 years ago with music by Olmecha Supreme and MC Dissident and free food at a rally 
at 12 noon on Tuesday. This will be followed by action targeting those who make war.

“We are shocked and disturbed that the SAS may be sent back to Afghanistan. Along 
with the Navy frigate and Provincial ‘Reconstruction Team’, this is a significant 
escalation of the NZ commitment to Bush’s wars on the people of the Middle East” 
said Felicity Perry, spokesperson for Peace Action Wellington.

“Clark’s meeting with Bush on Wednesday would be a great opportunity for her to condemn 
the systematic torture, rape and murder by the US forces of occupation. However, this 
Labour Government seems far more interested in cashing in on the lucrative spoils of 
war than in advocating for peace and justice.”

“We are calling for the New Zealand Government to end all support for US wars.”

“Overwhelmingly, the people of New Zealand oppose the illegal and immoral War on Iraq 
and the so-called War on Terror. The US is going into its 5th year of occupation in Iraq 
and its 7th year in Afghanistan. The world is sick and tired of fighting wars for US 
corporate greed and strategic control of the Middle East.”

“We are calling for the New Zealand Government to condemn the so-called War on Terror, 
end all military co-operation with the US, and close the US spy bases at Waihopai and 
Tangimoana” Perry said.
