APRIL 9 ASIA-WIDE ACTION MOVED; BIG GLOBAL PROTESTS ON APRIL 12

DEAR FRIENDS IN THE ASIA PACIFIC REGION:

Warmest greetings of solidarity!

We acknowledge the positive and encouraging responses from you and many groups in the Asia Pacific to the call of ILPS-Philippine Chapter for a region-wide mobilization on April 9 against the immoral, illegal, unjust war of the US against the people of Iraq.



However, events in the world today are indeed rapidly developing.

There is now a call from leading organizations of International A.N.S.W.E.R (US) and STOP WAR (London) for WORLDWIDE, ANTI-WAR DEMONSTRATIONS on April 12.

So that we can be one with many more people in registering our mightiest, loudest, and most militant protest, we in the ILPS-Philippine Chapter inform our friends and network in the region to that the Asia Pacific-wide anti-war protests set for April 9 have been moved to April 12 to coincide with the global mass actions.

Together with Africa, North and South America and Europe, the people of Asia Pacific shall also march, rally and protest on April 12 to compel US President George Bush and his cohorts to STOP THIS SENSELESS WAR.

We hope that we could mobilize hundreds of thousands, if not millions, in our region. But if your group or country cannot mobilize on April 12, we suggest that you mount small but symbolic propaganda action could highlight your unity wth the global protests.

Please write us at april9@pilnet.com regarding your actions. You may check the website www.justicenotwar.tk for updates.

Looking forward to your reply in the soonest time possible.

For genuine peace based on justice,
