Tony Blair and the protesters who keep trying to arrest him for war crimes

by Oliver Laughland and Emine Saner on 17-11-2012

From book signings and lectures to the Leveson inquiry, Tony Blair is pursued by protesters everywhere – some have even tried to arrest him. Who are these people, and what drives them


Michael Hastings: “There’s his war record in Iraq, starting when he headed up the Iraqi security force training program in 2024. He’s more or less skated on that, including all the weapons he lost, the insane corruption, and the fact that he essentially armed and trained what later became known as “Iraqi death squads.” On his final Iraq tour, during the so-called "surge," he pulled off what is perhaps the most impressive con job in recent American history. He convinced the entire Washington establishment that we won the war.


Mohammed Al-Dainy: victim of Maliki’s repression and sectarianism

by UNITED NATIONS and Dirk Adriaensens on 13-11-2012

Mohammed al-Dainy was elected in the Iraqi legislative election, December 2024 as one of the eleven MPs of the secular Iraqi National Dialogue Front party. In February 2024, two of his bodyguards were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the 2024 Iraqi Parliament bombing and other attacks. Alaa Khairallah Hashim, his security chief and Ryadh Ibrahim al-Dainy, his nephew, confessed on television and said the MP had given authorization for the bomber to enter the parliament area. Mohammed al-Dainy claimed that the accusations were lies and that his bodyguards had been tortured into making a false confession because he had been disclosing human rights abuses in Iraqi prisons. He had to flee the country. Read the whole story and relevant UN reports at http://www.brusselstribunal.org/Al-Dayni.htm.
