Darfur Demo, Downing St, London
jonatha...@st-hughs.ox.ac.uk
OUTSIDE DOWNING STREET - 12 NOON, FRIDAY 16TH DECEMBER
Aegis Trust's Protect Darfur campaign is holding a rally in Westminster
to demonstrate to the government that we will not tolerate their
inaction in the face of genocide in Darfur. The rally is organised
jointly with the Darfur Union, which is a social and humanitarian
advocacy group for the UK Darfuri community. Please do come and join
us!
WHEN? 12 Noon - 3pm, FRIDAY 16th DECEMBER
WHERE? On Whitehall opposite Downing Street
The demonstration will begin on Whitehall opposite Downing Street. It
will move down Whitehall to Parliament Square. It will end at the Home
Office on Romney Street. A map of the demonstration route is available
at www.protectdarfur.org\Pages\Campaign_Files\December_2005_Demo.htm
Delegations will go to Downing Street, the Foreign Office and the Home
Office to hand in letters to Government Ministers, as the demonstrators
hold banners and chant outside. Adapted Christmas Carols will also be
sung.
This Christmas over 2 million Darfuris will continue to starve in
refugee camps, at risk from violent attack and unable to return to
their homes. The British government thinks it is doing enough, but the
refugees' lives are in great danger with thousands dying every month.
They must be protected with a bigger peacekeeping force which has the
backing of the United Nations.
Many Darfuris who have managed to escape to Britain have been refused
asylum, stripped of benefits and accommodation, and disallowed to work.
This adds to the dreadful suspense of the ever-present risk of arrest
and deportation back to Sudan, where they may be tortured or killed.
Bearing in mind these people are already trying to deal with grief at
the loss of many loved ones, not to mention post-traumatic stress, the
Home Office' treatment of them is unacceptable in the extreme.
Darfuris in Britain must be granted asylum until the killings end.
Please contact Jonathan for more information and if you're planning to
attend the rally.

Don't tell me - "protect" them by allowing them to swarm into Britain to be
paid for by US, not you, you corrupt shitbag ?
We have too many of these parasites in this country to start with.
How many of them bother working ?
Between ZERO and 5% maybe ?
