Join Donny George and SAFE in remembrance of the looting of the Iraq
Museum four years ago. In a matter of days, thousands of ancient
artifacts from the cradle of civilization were stolen or destroyed.
Even more devastating, the looting of ancient sites continues to this
very day, not only in Iraq, but all around the world.
On Tuesday, April 10-12, 2007, pause for a moment of silence and
light a candle, wherever you are. You can also join SAFE in the
vigils being organized around the world, please go to http://
www.savingantiquities.org/i-safe-alert.php for a list of locations
and times. Images and videos of the vigils will be compiled in a
Video Memorial which will be presented to the current Director of the
Iraq Museum as well as international decision makers. These images
will also be broadcast via AssyriaSat, the global satellite
television network. Show your support, participate in the Global
Vigil and send us the images.
Call for the return of more than 7,000 antiquities that are still
missing. Demand an end to the international black market trade of
antiquities which feeds the looting of archaeologicaI sites, in Iraq
and around the world. Protect ancient civilizations not just for the
people of Iraq but for all of us, for future generations to come. We
must not forget.
Thank you,
Cindy Ho
