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

Seoul, Korea
