Six women stripped naked Sunday at a protest against the US-led invasion of Iraq after police arrested five people for obstructing entry to a command centre for British forces in the Gulf.

The nude demonstration occurred midway through a protest by some 170 people at Northwood, north of London, said a spokesman for Voices in the Wilderness UK, who organised the event.

The U.S. humanitarian non-governmental organization “Voices in the Wilderness” described Friday U.S. and British bombardments in Iraq as “extremely ugly.”

The group’s members, who recently returned from Iraq, said they witnessed the sequels of the war and charged that U.S. bombardment transformed the road linking Baghdad to the Jordanian capital, Amman, into a “path of sufferings.”

They said the road was littered with charred cars and blocked by several U.S. roadblocks where cars are stopped and passengers checked while Apache helicopters hover at low altitudes.

Some Voices in the Wilderness have been silenced, for now.

On Tuesday, Montrealers Lisa Ndejuru, Zehira Houfani and 10 others who went to Iraq with the Iraq Peace Team felt it was time to leave.

The road trip from Baghdad to Amman, Jordan, in three vans was uneventful, and author Houfani is on her way back to Montreal. But Ndejuru, who studies religion at the Universite du Quebec a Montreal, is staying behind as a volunteer in the Iraq Peace Team, part of the Voices in the Wilderness initiative that began in 1996 to publicize the effect of economic sanctions on ordinary people. “We want to see what we can do from here to support the team still there, to get the story out,” Ndejuru said from her hotel in Amman.
