Dear Mr. Blair
HUMANSHIELD IN BAGHDAD
This is to notify you that I am in Baghdad Iraq. I am currently stationed at the important site of Durah Electrical Power Plant as a Human Shield. I hope the British presence including myself will deter US/UK bombing of this extremely important humanitarian site, which if bombed will not only stop power to hospitals, schools, homes but also will bring down site such as water purification facilities which provided clean water to millions of Iraqi civilians.
Since my arrival in Iraq I have been overwhelmed with the generosity, love and compassion shown to me, these are clearly intelligent, beautiful people, which have a right to live. This war will NOT BE IN MY NAME. How could you kill any family? Any neighborhood? How can you cook children?
Should I live I will return to the U.K with my fellow comrades and inform the world of the truly illegal unjust war, the blood, deaths and destruction of innocent men, women and children. Please try to be brave and stand up to George Bush, to avoid blood on your hands.
Please could you inform the United States government that I am a British Citizen deployed on my own free will, voluntarily at the above site? I urge you to cancel any plans for the destruction of these sites, which will without doubt kill Iraqi lives.
In addition to this site there are many other humanitarian sites where both British and international volunteers are deployed such as:
New additional sites are being added to this list daily, as more and more Humanshields arrive in Baghdad.
I believe you are a well informed of the consequences of War and hope you can be strong enough to stop this military attack on Iraq. You will win the respect of the world, for your brave stance again United States aggression.
Yours in Peace,
Uzma Bashir
