Damascus march in protest of American threats against Iraq

A large popular march will be organized today, Saturday, in Damascus in protest to the American aggression on Iraq and to express support to the Palestinian Intifada.

All sectors of the people are scheduled to take part in the march which will set off from downtown and will head to the Peoples' Assembly (Parliament) where the march will turn into a mass rally.

Speeches which are scheduled to be delivered "will stress Syria's principled stances that support the Intifada and the struggle of the Palestinian and Iraqi people against the Zionist and imperialist aggression."

The March comes in response to a call by non-governmental organizations in 76 states all over the world, where similar demonstrations will be held simultaneously for this purpose.
