                           Balkans Peace Vigil

          The Balkans Peace Vigil taking place between 2 & 8pm,
        on Dec 21st at St Martins in the Field has been organised
           by the Balkans Working Group of the National Peace
                                Council.

          Most of us are appalled not only by TV images of the
       carnage but also by the prospect that 2.5 million innocent
                   Bosnians could starve this winter.

We call for:

    More humanitarian aid to save lives and halt
starvation.

    The establishment of UN protected safe havens where
war refugees can escape the horrors of war and find food
and shelter. These havens should be close by to allow
people to return home and rebuild their lives. Supporting
the right of refugees to return home is fundamental. To do
otherwise is to accept the insane logic of "ethnic cleansing" and
genocide.

    The British Government to allow refugees to enter
Britain. Europe is refusing to face up to the sheer scale of
the refugee crisis. Providing temporary respite in this
country is a practical and humanitarian step to ease the
suffering.

What you can do.


   Donate today to the Medicines for Bosnia Project.

   Buy a pair of Safe Haven Post Cards to lobby both the UN
and the Prime Minister. Public opinion does move politicians
and leaders.

   Across Europe organisations are working together to collect
signatures appealing for a pan European solution to this tragic
conflict. Ask us for the Lights for the People of Bosnia Letter.

   You can send your own message to;
Together we can make a difference.
