Edinburgh Peace and Justice Centre

The Edinburgh Stop the War Coalition unites a wide variety of individuals, members and affiliated groups including campaigns, political parties, NGOs and churches. We came together in the aftermath of the terrible events of 11 September. We condemn these crimes, but believe that the military onslaught against Afghanistan has only added more innocent lives to those lost in America. We oppose the bombing campaign against Afghanistan and any future invasion of that nation or the others being targeted by the US. We stand shoulder to shoulder with all ethnic and religious communities in Britain, and demand an end to racist attacks and prejudice. We reject the erosion of our civil liberties in the name of anti-terrorism: we cannot defend freedom by destroying it.
