War criminal calls greet Tony Blair

Blair was greeted by chants of “Tony Blair, terrorist” as he appeared at a forum on Religion in Public Life alongside Archbishop of Canterbury Roman Williams at Methodist Central Hall of Westminster in central London.

The Stop the War Coalition, which organized the protest rally, said they want Blair to face war crime charges at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

“We believe the man who took us into the Iraq war on a lie, killing up to a million Iraqis, hundreds of British soldiers and plunging the country back decades, should be facing a war crimes tribunal not a political comeback,” the campaign group’s national officer Chris Nineham said.

Blair has recently made headlines by appearing alongside Labour Leader Ed Miliband and planning to meet US republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on his European tour this week.

Miliband has recently appointed ex-Labour leader Blair as a party advisor.

Stop the War’s chairman John Rees said Blair’s reappearance in public scenes is part of a “coordinated attempt to get him back into public life.”
