Iraq: Urgent call for solidarity for kidnapped feminist journalist Guiliana Sgrena
WLUML has received an urgent appeal for solidarity and pressure to be placed on the Italian government to secure the safe release of Italian feminist-pacifist journalist Guiliana Sgrena, kidnapped in Iraq.
Guilana is an active member of Women in Black and has been supporting people in Iraq by persistently reporting on the lives and tragedies of the lower classes under occupation.
As International Network of Women against War we call on the immediate liberation of the Italian journalist and pacifist Giuliana Sgrena, our friend, a brave woman who's been crossing the borders since many years, to speak out the truth of the daily horror and violence of war.
In Iraq, in Palestine, in Algeria, in Afghanistan, she has always been our eyes, our voice, and believing in the need of truth she has been testifying the injustice of war and occupation.
We ask to set her free. She is a friend to peace, to Iraqi people, and a friend to victims of violence all over the world. Giuliana is one of us.
We call all the women of the international network to hold a vigil in the different cities for the liberation of Giuliana and Florence on the same day on Friday 11th of February.
