Je vous implore Dieu, le seul Dieu a qui nous croyons tous,de liberer ces bons gens qui ouvres pour le peuple irakien qui a tant souffert et qui continu de souffrir.
Ho conosciuto Simona per radio, alla trasmissione di Radio Rai 2 "Caterpillar". Con leggerezza raccontava loro i suoi giorni normali in Iraq, voglio sentirla ancora!
sono due ragazze che amano la pace e hanno vissuto per costruire la solidarietà e un mondo migliore, abbiamo bisogno di persone così. Tutti ne abbiamo bisogno. Liberatele.
Non riesco ad accettare il concetto che in nome della Pace si debba soffrire e vedere scorrere fiumi di sangue. Ma che mondo è questo? cosa abbiamo seminato?
Sono con Voi.
As individual, I sign the appeal for the release of Simona, Simona, Raad and Mahonaz
and the immediate end of the Iraq occupation by the US-led coalition forces.
Dear Friends, I wish to sign my name to the urgent request for the release ofthe 4 humanitarian workerswho were kidnapped in Iraq. We must work for world peace and these youn men and women have given us an example of caring about others. God will be with them. My prayers will continue all day and thru part of the nite. May God comfort them and keep their courage strong.
Please free the humanitarian workers from Italy and Iraq who were
taken on
September 7th 2004.
Their interest was to help others and were not involved in other
activities.
THEY ARE NOT INSTRUMENTS OF THE OCCUPYING FORCES
We are individuals and organizations from around the
world who opposed
and continue to oppose the occupation of Iraq and we
plead for the release
of two Italian and two Iraqi humanitarian workers who
were abducted in
Iraq September 7, 2004.
Simona Pari and Simona Torretta, both Italians, and
Ra'ad Ali Abdul Azziz
and Mahnoaz Bassam, both Iraqis, are members of Un Ponte Per Baghdad
(Bridges to Baghdad) an independent Italian
humanitarian organization that has been working in
Iraq since 1992. During the embargo, other
humanitarian
organizations refused to operate in Iraq. Bridges
defied that in the
belief that the suffering of civilians should not be used as a political bargaining chip.
In this occupation, the United States and its
coalition cynically blurred
the distinction between the humanitarian and the
political, using aid and
relief as an apparatus for pacifying the Iraqis. As a
result, Iraqis have become
increasingly and understandably suspicious of
international humanitarian
organizations. Despite the perils caused by this
confusion, Bridges
consciously decided to continue its operations in
Iraq, convinced that
Iraqis will see through their intentions.
Bridges is not an instrument of the Italian
government, nor of the US-led
coalition, to make the occupation more bearable, and
therefore, more
acceptable to the Iraqis. From the very beginning,
Bridges has been open
and consistent with its positions: it opposed the
embargo, it opposed the
invasion, and it opposes the occupation. In Italy,
Bridges has been a
leading critic of the government's decision to join
the US-led coalition.
It plays a leading role in the nation-wide movement
that mobilized over a
million Italians to march against the war in February
15, 2003, as well as
in various demonstrations after. Bridges has also been
very active in the
global anti-war movement, m

Spero che queste due mie coetanee così coraggiose ed altruiste possano presto ritornare a prestare la loro opera per rendere questo mondo un posto migliore...grazie!

My name is Peter Mower, and about a week ago I recieved an e-mail from a
friend telling me about the abduction and containment of the aid workers
from the group Bridges to Baghdad, and am asking to have my name added
to the petition for thier release. I only hope it isn't ignored
In Peace
Dear People,
Please free the humanitarian workers who were abducted on 9/7/04. They never intended to do any harm but simply wanted to be of help to those in need. Thank you. Sincerely, Vic De Vita
