On March 2th, a Cuban immigrant detainee, Arturo Alvarez, died from a heart attack he suffered while being held in Middlesex County jail. A petition signed by over 90 detainees contends that Mr. Alvarez asked for medical help on February 29th and was given Tylenol and some medications that he had, but no doctor was on call to see him.  He died on March 2th in St. Peters Hospital emergency room.  Detainees at this facility are so concerned about the neglect towards severe medical complaints that they signed a petition to Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff and United States Attorney General Mukasey (see link below).

American troops have been in Iraq for nearly five years. The unjustified invasion of Iraq, begun in March 2003, has dragged on with no end in sight. Sadly, American casualties continue to mount: nearly 4000 dead and tens of thousands seriously wounded.

United for Peace and Justice is calling for and supporting a set of activities on and around the 5th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq that will manifest the intensifying opposition to the war. You can help: write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper, calling for an end to our involvement in Iraq, and supporting the events taking place to mark the 5th anniversary of the war.

Action Page 2007-03: Support Inquiry into Bush Administration Offenses PDF Print E-mail

It has long been obvious that President Bush and Vice-President Cheney misled Congress, the American people, and the international community in rushing into an unjustified war with Iraq.  Bush claimed that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and posed an immediate threat to the United States.  He and his administration also insinuated that Iraq was in some way linked to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.  These claims were all proven to be untrue.  The Downing Street memos confirmed that the Bush administration "fixed the intelligence" in order to justify going to war with Iraq.
