1>>> MAWO Education Class
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
WEDNESDAY June 20th, 2007
6:30PM
@ the Large North Hall of Joe's Cafe
(on Commercial Drive at Williams St)
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~~~~>

FOCUS FOR WEEK:
What Canada is doing in Afghanistan - The Case of brutal occupation
and torture in Afghanistan.

This week's education class will focus on the 'new' exposition of torture by 
Canadian and all occupying forces as a rising crisis in the occupation. How 
many times since 2001 has this nightmare been exposed as an automatic 
condition of imperialist occupation? What are the goals and objectives of 
this level of attack and brutality in the strategy of the occupiers? How can 
we organize to show our solidarity with the people of Afghanistan and show 
that occupation itself is torture?


2>>> Emergency Picket Action: "Canada/NATO Out of Afghanistan Now!"

THURSDAY JUNE 21, 2007
3:30 - 4:30PM
@ the Canadian Armed Forces Recruitment Centre (1070 W Georgia St – on
Georgia St & Thurlow St, downtown Vancouver)
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~~~~>

As the 57th soldier was recently killed in Afghanistan, MAWO will take to 
the streets to voice that a Canadian soldier dead means that Canada
is at war with the people of Afghanistan, and killing the children, men and 
women of Afghanistan. Join us to demand: CANADA/NATO OUT OF AFGHANISTAN! 
BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW! CALL FOR AN INDEPENDENT PUBLIC INQUIRY INTO 
CANADA'S WAR DRIVE IN AFGHANISTAN!

of Iraq! Canada/NATO Out of Afghanistan! U.S./E.U. Hands Off Iran! Israel
