Solidarity Message for Filipino Hostage in Iraq from Korea

Dear IRAQ SOLIDARITY CAMPAIGN-Philippines,

The People’s Action Against the Dispatch of Korean Troops to Iraq
sends you greetings in solidarity.

It was with great sadness that we received the news about the Filipino
man who was taken hostage in Iraq. We want to express our sympathy to
his family. We recently went through a similar experience when we were
devastated by the death of Kim Seon Il in Iraq. So many lives have
been lost because of this illegal war that the US and its allies
launched against Iraq.

We also want to lend our support to your voice and solidarity to your
actions calling for the withdrawal of the Philippine government’s
support of the US-led occupation of Iraq. This hostage taking must not
continue, but these kinds of acts result from the unjust occupation of
Iraq by foreign forces, including the Philippines, and led by the US.

Iraqi people do not want the Philippines to send troops to Iraq or to
continue supporting the occupation. Such actions deprive the Iraqi
people of their legitimate right to self-determination.

We struggle with you for the end of the occupation and the immediate
withdrawal of Philippine and Korean military forces from Iraq.

In solidarity,

10 July 2004
