Officers from Scotland Yard have commenced a criminal investigation into the deaths of Iraqi citizens killed during the armed invasion and occupation of Iraq. The Metropolitan Police are acting in response to crimes reported by peace activists from We Are Change UK and The Campaign to Make War History.

In an unprecedented step, the case was handed to the War Crimes division of the Counter Terrorism branch who are now investigating allegations of 14 criminal offences committed by Tony Blair, Lord Goldsmith and others. The offences are under the International Criminal Court Act 2001, which came into effect under English common law, just two days before 9/11.

As of yet, no arrests or charges have been brought against Tony Blair or anyone else from the 2003 Blair Labour Government. We have our own online petition underway where we plan to accumulate as many unique electronic signatures as possible. We are aiming for millions, so that the pressure keeps up and cannot be ignored. Please sign our petition it takes seconds.

Those who submitted evidence and the dosssier were interviewed for six hours at Belgravia Police station on the 20th December 2007. Evidence was provided to the police relating to the crimes of:-

• genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and conduct ancillary to these crimes under Sections 51 and 52 of The International Criminal Court Act 2001.
• a crime against peace and complicity in a crime against peace under Articles 6 and 7 of The Nuremburg Principles.
• murder, incitement to murder and conspiracy to murder under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.
• conspiracy to commit genocide, a crime against humanity and war crimes under the Criminal Law Act 1977

This is the first time in 150 attempts where the Police (Met.) have actually not thrown people out of the police station or ignored them. Obviously the Police have the job to know the law but are seriosuly lacking in their knowledge of international law, unsurprisingly. Finally, the penny seems to be dropping that the most seriosu charges to ever be brought are right under their noses and they have been blind to it.
