Thanks, but...

Dear Naz - I was hoping for more details. I live in the US but I have had extensive interaction with CASMII and they list board members and advisors on the web site (I am not a CASMII member and I don't speak for them). I applaud your group's efforts to campaign against war with Iran. I think we all know the reasons why war with Iran would not benefit anyone anywhere.

I'm still not sure why your group has decided not to reveal its officials' identities. Of course it is entirely up to your group to decide whether they want their names to appear on your web site or not. 

Well Ostaad, there's your answer. When

I found the site I did think it was kind of...empty. I also blogged the article because I thought the cartoon is soooooooo funny I wanted as many people as possible to see it. It's probably the best cartoon on both O and Mahmood I've ever seen. (I dunno, maybe it's because of the colors, but still I think it's great..Mahmood with that tiny little fist..)

I do think the campaigniran website should have some names, I also think they should post more articles, even if just brief ones, even if just feeds like what we do, so people know they're active. Before the February 13 one, the last one had been months ago.

I am sure they do very good work. It was obvious from the site that they are involved with anti-war events. I just think the website could be more...sort of..proactive...If it hadn't happened to have the current article I might've wondered if they were still really functioning..well maybe they will read this. I will e-mail them about it directly anyway.

Campaign Iran

Salaam Ostaad

I tried posting a reply earlier but some reason it didn't appear. Campaign Iran is an Iran-focused anti-war organisation that's part of the Stop the War Coalition. We are a group of Iranians, non-Iranians, academics, students, trade unionists, socialists and peace activists who are united against war and sanctions. We build for demonstrations and have organised large public meetings that have included speakers from human rights lawyer Shirin Ebadi to the British journalist Rageh Omar.

Look out for our upcoming events on //www.campaigniran.co.uk
or send an email to dontattackiran@campaigniran.co.uk to subscribe to our email bulletins

thanks
Naz

Do they have names, girlfriend?

That's what I'd like to know. It is very peculiar nowadays if you form a group to publicize a political cause, IN THE WEST, and not to want your name to appear on your own web site!!!

Are they all bahejaab, politically speaking?

What are these people?

This is a group based in the UK working inside the Stop the War, campaigning against military attack and sanctions on Iran. The membership is mainly Iranian but also British and have leftist/socialist affiliations. They are good people.

Does anyone know who the core members of this group are?

I visited their web site and read the mission statement. Sounds cool, but who are these people?

Good article and killing cartoon!

Thanks Rosie, the article is very good and the cartoon by Steve Bell ... what can I say, just brilliant (scary!) ...
