opposition, the USA and British governments have begun their war. On the early morning of Thursday 20 March, George Bush gave the order for the slaughter of the people of Iraq.
As usual, these two governments and their lackey media are reporting the war as an attack against Saddam Hussein rather than what it is - a crime against humanity. Despite their daily deceptions, they are nonetheless faced with the disbelief and protest of millions who know that this war will kill and main hundreds of thousands and cause the displacement and flight of millions.
This war is a truly shameful moment in the history of humanity. It is a war against humanity, welfare and civil society and has been registered as such within the hearts and minds of people throughout the world.
The millions who have come to the fore can still stop this immense human tragedy. Workers can still stop the wheels of production and bring entire countries to a standstill in opposition to the war. We must come to the fore as never before and organise ongoing sit-ins, demonstrations, direct actions and so on. We must not let these criminals be for one second! The people of Iraq anxiously await our intervention. The time is now. We can stop this massacre. This is our task.
The International Federation of Iranian Refugees strongly and unequivocally condemns the war against the people of Iraq and will do all it can to stop this slaughter. Furthermore, IFIR will do all it can to exert pressure on border countries as well as all countries, including Western ones that have for so long denied Iraqis the full right to asylum to open their borders for Iraqi asylum seekers, grant them asylum and cease all deportations to the region. All asylum seekers/refugees must be given decent shelter, food, medicine and so on. The internally displaced within Iraq (estimated to become 3 million) must be given immediate access to shelter, food, medicine, etc. All humanitarian assistance must be provided by voluntary organisations and not the USA army which has had a hand in massacring people. 100,000 refugees, including Iranians who are now in Iraq must also be transferred to safe places.
