The Iraq Solidarity Campaign
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Iraq Solidarity Campaign was founded in 2003 and is led by British-born Iraqi writer Hussein Al-alak. The group is active in protests against the Iraqi invasion in different locations throughout the world.[1]
Prior to the 2003 invasion, the organisation operated as the Coalition Against Sanctions and War on Iraq (CASWI), which formed as a result of a fusion between organisations which included the Campaign Against Repression and for Democratic Rights in Iraq (CARDRI), CND, Pax Christi and some Iraqi Opposition organisations.[citation needed]
The Campaign Against Repression and for Democratic Rights in Iraq was founded in 1979 and obtained the support of organisations including the Iraqi Women's League, the Iraqi Communist Party and was chaired by the current Special Human Rights Envoy to Iraq, Ann Clwyd MP.[citation needed]
