Following powerful her recent articles on the Baker/Kuwait scandal and on the UNCC, award winning journalist and activist Naomi Klein is speaking in London.

For the last 18 months Klein’s dispatches from occupied Iraq – and the business conferences where US ideologues and corporations have organising the corporate assault on the country – have been must read material. She recently cost the Carlyle Group over $1bn worth of investments when she exposed an influence-peddling scam involving Saddam's debts.

Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to hear from the author of ‘No Logo’ Wednesday 24th November 2004 at 6.45pm, Friends Meeting House, Euston Road, London. (opposite Euston Station)

Proceeds from the meeting will go to the Fallujah Centre for the Study of Democracy and Human Rights, an Iraqi humanitarian group, and the Southern Oil Company Union. The SOCU, the largest member of the Basra Oil Union, is an anti-privatisation union who are fighting the poverty wages imposed on the oil industry by the authorities and who stopped oil production during the siege of Fallujah in protest at the occupiers' actions.
