Wrong about us
From Andrew Murray
Sir: The article on the anti-war movement by Douglas Davis (‘United in hate’, 20 August) contains a number of factual errors. Muhammad Aslam Ijaz is not, and never has been, co-chair of the Stop the War Coalition. He is not even a member of our steering committee. That committee has 50 members, not 33. It includes at least ten members of the Labour party, not three. They are joined by three representatives of Muslim organisations, not eight. We have one ‘leftist ecologist’, not four. There are nine members of the committee representing national trade unions, which Mr Douglas omits to mention, as well as a spread of representatives from liberal campaigning groups. This information is publicly available on our website (www.stopwar.org.uk).
