Galloway further said the demonstrators will spread themselves over the railways in Britain and other countries, urging the British people not to vote for Blair in the coming elections for his wrong-headed policies, which had shaken Britain’s credibility in the eyes of the world.

People’s Assembly For Peace

For its part, Stop the War coalition called for forming a parliament called “People’s Assembly For Peace” that would include all British peace activists from all walks of life to give voice to the people’s fierce opposition to war taking “Everyone who protested against war can join us” as its motto.

The “MPs” said they are going to choose the “speaker” later on Tuesday, March 12, noting that all British cities would have representatives in the peace parliament.

A number of Islamic organizations and mosques here in Britain said they would join the parliament with two representatives on behalf of each organization and mosque.

Anti-war protesters will also take to the streets of Paris, Amsterdam, Sydney, Tokyo, Luxembourg, Beirut and Damascus.
