Meetings demand an end to war against Iraq

(Nhandan.org.vn, March 21, 2003)

Thousands of people across Vietnam gathered at meetings on March 20 to protest against the war, following military strikes launched by the US warlike administration and its allies against Iraq.

The participants called for urgent efforts from countries and international organisations to prevent the expansion of the war so as to protect peace and stability in the world.

Workers of a number of factories also joined anti-war meetings after the working hours to express their opposition to the unjust war against Iraq and their sympathy with the Iraqi people's sufferings.

They raised high the banners "No bombing of Iraq," "No blood for oil," and "Stop the war now."
