Protesters in London call for arrest of Tony Blair

  • 8 years ago
Footage of demonstrators and pro-peace campaigners demanding the arrest of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, on the day the long-awaited Chilcot Report into the 2003 Iraq War was published.

The video, filmed this morning in London, shows various pro-peace groups including Veterans For Peace accusing Mr Blair and others of war crimes, as well as an interview with a demonstrator who says he doesn't think "war is the answer to the problems of the 21st century."

Sir John Chicot's report took seven years to produce and examined UK government policy decisions between 2001 and 2009.

It was not within the panel's remit to look into the legality of the invasion but it covered things like the decision to go to war, whether British military was adequately prepared and whether there was sufficient planning for the aftermath, the consequences of which we are experiencing today.
