Bromley and Lewisham CND groups were out in force at the ‘No War with Iran’ march on the 20th January 2020. Marching from BBC Portland Place to Trafalgar square, they carried a banner and got a lot of attention!
They also secured press coverage, writing the below letter:
Bromley Borough CND are deeply concerned about President Trump’s decision to kill Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, and by doing so increase tensions in the Middle and Far East, and create a state of potential war, rather than preventing war.
There are now threats of retaliation from Tehran and more from the US, which has created an extremely dangerous and unstable situation, could involve many other countries and is a threat to world peace.
Rather than negotiate through the UN, which takes time, skill and patience, the US has acted irresponsibly and is putting many lives at risk.
World leaders are rightly calling for de-escalation of the situation.
A demonstration was held in Whitehall and locally by Bromley Borough CND in Beckenham on January 4th, where they were doing Nuclear Ban Treaty campaigning.
