What has the “liberation” of Iraq brought to the women of Iraq apart from the usual miseries of war and occupation? Justice and freedom perhaps? I don’t think so!
The Iraqi government are looking to execute at least 100 women based on a stitch-up. These women need socialists and feminists to contact both the UK, Iraqi and international authorities to stop the judical murder of these women.
Without a fair and just judicial system and under the rule of corrupt thugs there will be no freedom. This should be something that even those who supported the invasion and the occupation can insist should end.

Well at least one of these was a minister in the Saddam government. Fuck her.
Oh Reuben… really? Because vengeance has been ‘so’ successful up to now in Iraq, as had the establishment of a fair and just judiciary.
The death penalty in any circumstance is premeditated murder by the state, a denial of the most basic human right – the right to life. In ANY circumstance.
You said everything I woulda Kevin. Thanks.
Reuben, that was possibly one of the least nuanced, least intellectually engaging and least enlightened arguments I’ve seen you come out with. And I have heard you talk an inordinate amount of shit in the past. All I can say is epic fail my friend, epic fail.
