While not doubting at all Sue Wixley’s admirable human rights record, I really do not think the Lib Dems should continue to put this misleading leaflet through doors. Mine arrived this morning.To put the South African campaign in context, I quote from the article in the link “ In 1993 the Campaign Steering Committee consisting of the original six organizations was formalized, and the coordinator recognized. As dozens of national campaigns formed and hundreds of organizations joined the Campaign, the Steering Committee was expanded in 1996 and 1997 to reflect the growth and diversity of the Campaign. New members included the Afghan Campaign to Ban Landmines, Cambodia Campaign to Ban Landmines, Kenyan Coalition Against Landmines, Rädda Barnen, and South African Campaign to Ban Landmines.”I suppose “it is correct to state that Sue Wixley was involved ... “ but then so were hundreds of other people involved in the “dozens of national campaigns and hundreds of organizations” which also joined the campaign.
