Line 1: == Human shield action to Iraq == On [[January 25]], [[2003]] an international group of volunteers left [[London]] and headed for [[Baghdad]] to act as ''voluntary [[human shields'']], hoping to avert a U.S. invasion. The action's primary organiser was [[Kenneth O'Keefe]], a former U.S. Marine who served in the [[1991]] [[Gulf War]] but who renounced his citizenship afterwards. The convoy travelled through Europe and Turkey by bus to pick up like-minded people along the way, which totalled about 70. It is estimated that 500-700 people eventually made their way to Iraq before the U.S. invasion in march. [[Image:Human_shields_black_bus.jpg\|thumb\|left\|Human shields black bus, January 25, 2003]]
