Called by: Stop the War Coalition
Date: 19 December 2008
Time: 13:00 - 14:00
Location: US Embassy

London, United Kingdom
Media Workers Against the War, and the International Federation of Journalists have called for the immediate release of Muntadar Al-Zaidi, the journalist who hurled his shoes at George Bush in protest at his bloody occupation. Al-Zaidi has not been seen since he was arrested. The BBC reports he has been severely beaten.
The swift incarceration of this journalist contrasts sharply with the treatment of war criminals Bush and Blair. Their decision to go to war in 2003 has led to the deaths of up to a million Iraqi civilians.
Muntadar Zaidi's life is now in great danger. Not even his family know his whereabouts. We must speak out for the right of Iraqis to protest this criminal occupation.
Supported by Media Workers Against the War, Iraqi Democrats Against the Occupation and Stop the War Coalition.
All welcome, please forward widely.
