Questions from the public

Moderator: Christer Lundgren

Organizer: IrakSolidaritet (Swedish Iraq Solidarity Association)

Since October 1, 2019, mass demonstrations have been held in Iraq. Protesters challenge the political parties and politicians who came with the illegal U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003. They are fighting the sectarianism that the occupants imposed on Iraq through the constitution, quota systems, and electoral laws.

The repression has been fierce. At least 700 people have been killed and thousands injured. Security forces, federal police and militias have taken part in the repression. Total impunity prevails and the killers go free. At least five protesters were recently killed in Nasiriya. Demonstrations in solidarity with Nasiriya have been held in several cities.

The USA used depleted uranium and other chemical weapons in Iraq with fatal consequencies for the health situation.

Swedish military forces are participating in the U.S.-led so called "international coalition" in Iraq in spite of the strong demand of the Iraqi people and parliament that all foreign forces leave their country.
