Peace Vigils Worldwide Morn Tom Hurndall’s Death


Peace Activists Worldwide Morn Tom Hurndall’s Death

You may have already heard that Tom Hurndall died this evening. His family and supporters have called for a vigil outside Downing Street tomorrow, Wednesday, at 5.30pm (G.M.Time). Bring candles, placards, media.

Tom died hours after the soldier who shot him was charged with aggravated assault. The soldier has also been charged with obstruction of justice for first shooting Tom through the forehead and only afterwards seeking permission from his commander to kill Mr Hurndall on the fabricated grounds that he was carrying a gun. .
