イラク戦争で息子を亡くした米カリフォルニア州在住のシンディ・シーハンさんら女性団体が、13日から「母の日」の14日にかけて、ワシントンのホワイトハウス近くの公園で24時間反戦デモを行った。米国旗をかけたひつぎで囲んだスペースに母親らが寝転んで作った人文字は「ママは戦争に反対」。AFP通信によると、シーハンさんは「この不正で不必要なイラク戦争で、これ以上子供を失い悲しむ母親が増えてほしくない」と訴えた。女性らはイラク駐留米軍の早期撤退を求め、「イランへの軍事攻撃にも反対」と訴えた。【北米総局】

WASHINGTON (AFP) - A group of mothers led by prominent war opponent Cindy Sheehan, who lost her soldier son in Iraq, started a 24-hour vigil outside the White House to protest the war in Iraq.
Actress Susan Sarandon was also expected to attend part of the demonstration Sunday, on Mother's Day. The protesters are calling for an end to the Iraq war and to express opposition to a military attack against Iran.
"I don't want any more moms to grieve for a child lost in this unjust, unnecessary war in Iraq," said Sheehan, who has become a leading war protesters since her 24-year-old sold was killed in Iraq.
"This Mother's Day we'll be outside the White House all day and all night demanding that our children come home from Iraq and not be sent to another reckless war in Iran," she said in a statement.
Women for Peace, made up of mothers and their families, met at 3:00 pm (1900 GMT) prepared to spend the night outside the White House before dispersing at the same time Sunday.
Sarandon was to attend from 1:00 to 4:00 pm on Sunday, when "organizers plan a dramatic action," according to the anti-war group Code Pink.
President George W. Bush will not be at the White House, but at the presidential weekend retreat at Camp David.
Events include a concert, film screenings, workshops on legislative strategies, writing letters to First Lady Laura Bush, a pink pajama party, an interfaith service on Sunday morning, and a visit to Walter Reed Army Medical Center to deliver roses to mothers and wives of injured soldiers, the group said.
