Today marks the 25th anniversary of the horrific massacre by Saddam Hussein’s regime of over 5,000 innocent civilians in a chemical weapons attack on the city of Halabja, in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region. At least 10,000 people were blinded and maimed. This terrible crime was but one of many in Hussein’s Anfal Campaign, in which tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis were slaughtered. On this solemn occasion, we honor the memories of the husbands, wives, sons, and daughters who perished at Halabja and throughout the Anfal, as we continue our efforts to prevent future atrocities, and help ensure that perpetrators of such crimes are held accountable.
六點鐘,行動告一段落。唐曙聚集了大家,說明今天為加薩而站的原因,以及加薩目前又繼續戰爭的情況,他說哪怕是替加薩爭取個一天兩天喘息機會也好,我很認同。接著他帶著大家一起喊了口號「停止屠殺!解除封鎖!....」「Free Palestine! Let Gaza Live!」後,結束今天的活動;至於額外援助巴勒斯坦家庭的捐款行動,由唐曙及良哲處理。
