IFC Statement on storming the headquarters of IFC in Baghdad by the US forces

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Monday June 25, 2007 15:38author by pat c Report this post to the editors

The practices and acts of the US forces will not discourage us from continuing our struggle

The translation here is a bit creaky but please bear with it. The Iraq Freedom Congress brings together socialists, feminists, workers and progressive forces. It stands for:
1. End the occupation of Iraq – the US forces must leave Iraq immediately
2.End the interference of the Islamic currents from people’s lives
3. Guarantee the right of the Iraqi people to make an informed and free decision on the future of political system
4. Restore civil life to Iraq


Its slogan is:
Working For a Democratic, Secular and Progressive Alternative to both the US Occupation and Political Islam in Iraq

The US forces flagrantly provocative raided the IFC headquarter in Baghdad. They arrested a number of its guards and confiscated some important documents.

The growing activities of IFC in the face of the occupation and its crimes and turning into a libertarian hub that gives human beings in Iraq a single identity and unite them under one banner to expel the occupation have created panic in the ranks of the occupation forces, which forced them to storm the headquarter of IFC and destroy the doors and arrest five members of the headquarters guards and confiscate their weapons.
