Asian Peace Mission to Iraq
14-17 March 2003

A group of prominent Asian intellectuals, parliamentarians, civil society leaders, and activists went to Baghdad as a part of Asian Peace Mission in a desperate last-ditch effort to avert the war. The Asian Peace Mission delegates were among the last foreigners to leave Baghdad on March 18th. Their initial report of meetings with students and other Baghdad citizens gets under the surface of the mainstream media reports and reveals a vulnerable but enduring people on the edge of war.
