PRESS RELEASES
ICC MUST CONDUCT FORMAL INVESTIGATION INTO UK WAR CRIMESÂ
The International Criminal Court has made the decision to investigate allegations of war crimes committed by UK forces following the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
If it is to have any credibility the preliminary investigation must be followed by a formal probe by the ICC itself rather than, as is likely, leaving the task to UK law enforcement authorities who have proved themselves to be unwilling and incapable of bringing those responsible to justice.

The Autobiography of Malcolm X: Malcolm X inspired as many people in the United States as he caused to fear him. His remarkable autobiography – completed just before his murder in 1965 – tells the story of a young, disenfranchised man whose descent into drug addition, robbery and prison was only reversed by his belief in the struggle for black America, and his conversion to Islam.
