StopWar and George W. Bush: Surrey Protest Oct. 20
written by Press Release
 
StopWar and allies are planning a protest on Oct. 20
by StopWar
Dear friends: War criminal George Bush is not welcome in Surrey!

Former US presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton are invited speakers at the Surrey Regional Economic Development Forum, Oct. 20 at the Sheraton Guildford Hotel.

The StopWar coalition, Fraser Valley Peace Council and other groups have sent this letter to Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts:

"George W. Bush is a war criminal, guilty of authorizing torture and launching an illegal war on Iraq based on lies. Bush should not be allowed a safe haven in Surrey or anywhere else in Canada. The federal government has shamefully failed in its duty to deny entry or to arrest Bush and other officials of his administration reasonably suspected of war crimes. We ask you to do the right thing and cancel Bush's appearance."

Amnesty International is also calling on the federal government to detain and investigate George W. Bush for war crimes. In fact, the organization says the government has "an obligation" to do it."
