EMERGENCY PROTEST GEORGE SQ, GLASGOW MONDAY 13 JULY 5-6.30PM.

15 British soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan in ten days, bringing the total to 184 and surpassing the number of UK deaths in Iraq. http://stopwar.org.uk/content/view/1337/1/

The troop "surge" which was meant to pacify Helmand province has become a nightmare for the British army.

This unwinnable war must stop now. All British troops must be withdrawn to prevent any more futile deaths, and to stop the carnage suffered by the Afghan people.

Stop the War has called an emergency protest in George Square, Glasgow on Monday 13 July, 5-6.30pm. Please spread the word now.
