The march was staged against the instalment of US anti missile shields in Poland and the participation of Polish troops in the Iraq and Afghanistan missions.
The protesters marched through the city centre, carrying banners with slogans ‘We do not want to be a traget’ or ‘Stop the occupation of Iraq’. The organiser of the action, Filip Ilkowski from the Initiative “Stop to War’, said that the 5th anniversary of the intervention of the coalition units in Iraq will be celebrated with anti war demonstrations. The anniversary falls on March 20th and protest actions are prepared by all anti war organisations in the world.
Poland has some 900 soldiers stationed in Iraq at present, while in Afghanistan there are some 1200 with 400 more planned to be sent there in the near future.
