Arabic Sisters meet in Spain [Archives:2003/09/Local News]

The Sisters Arabic Forum for Human Rights participated last month in a peace conference in Cordova, Spain.
The conference aimed at discussing the American threat of waging war against Iraq, that consequently threatens the security and stability of the region.
A number of European, American and Arabic human rights organizations participated in the conference that came up with strict stance in refusing war and choosing peace instead.
Ms. Amal al-Basha, head of SAF, said “British and European civil society institutions have a respectable stance related to the peace issues in the Arabia region unlike the official stance that supports war especially, the official British government stance.
Arab civil society organizations are also active. Human rights groups gathered in Cairo last month and issued an announcement condemning the American stance inviting war.
“Regrettably, this announcement was not mentioned in the different mass media.
The millions of people who marched recently against war did so as result of efforts of the civil and international society institutions,” she added.
