Take Action on Libya!

The mainstream media has fed us nothing but lies on Libya. The assault on Tripoli is a bloodbath thanks to non-stop NATO bombing. More people have been killed and injured in the past two days than in the whole of Operation Cast Lead (Israel’s attack on Gaza 2008).


Take action TODAY for the people of LIBYA!!!

STOP THE GOVERNMENT’S ‘SHEER ACTS OF CRIMINALITY’!

The mainstream media has fed us nothing but lies on Libya. The assault on Tripoli is a bloodbath thanks to non-stop NATO bombing. More people have been killed and injured in the past two days than in the whole of Operation Cast Lead (Israel’s attack on Gaza 2008). Eyewitnesses say that NATO helicopters are strafing civilians in the streets.

The UK Government is using our NAME and our TAXES to: –

• bomb civilian homes and infrastructure as well as military targets
• make totally illegal targeted assassinations
• employ military and intelligence advisors to work closely with the rebels (many of whom are Libyan Al-Qaeda!)
• apply lethal sanctions (according to the International Red Cross, Libya is running out of medicines – especially those needed for war trauma)

All this is in total contravention of UN Security Council Resolution 1973 (which was supposed to be about protecting civilians – not slaughtering them on mass).

Independent journalists are being issued with death threats.
