Campaigners march in protest at war on terrorism by ananova(posted by Guido) Monday July 22, 2002 at 07:29 PM |
Simultaneous demonstrations have been organised throughout the world, taking place in Berlin, Brussels, Vienna and Jakarta, in Indonesia. Somebody knows something about the march in Brussels?(Guido)
The campaigners are planning to march to the Embassy of Uzbekistan, a country they highlight as "a prime example of the war America is waging against the Muslims".
Organisers claim thousands of Muslims have been arrested, tortured and murdered in Uzbekistan, and a campaign entitled "Who Killed Farhad Usmanov?" has been running to raise awareness of the issue.
Usmanov was allegedly murdered by Uzbek security services in June 1999, according to the demonstration's organisers.
A number of protesters wore T-shirts with the slogan as they awaited speeches at the beginning of the march.
