Professor Edward Said said recently that “For almost a full decade an inhuman campaign of sanctions – the most complete ever in recorded history – has destroyed Iraq as a modern state …All this has been done by the US and UK misusing United Nations resolutions against innocent civilians..” Kathy Kelly has visited Iraq over a dozen times since 1995, documenting the deaths of children caused by sanctions. In the spirit of Martin Luther King and Gandhi she and her organization, Voices in the Wilderness, are in open defiance to the State Department – not intimidated by the threat of 12 years in prison for each visit. Rania Masri, is the co-ordinator of the Iraqi Action Coalition. (May 2000)
