The Najaf branch of the La’Onf Iraqi nonviolence group held events for the third week of nonviolence in the College of Education for Girls. Organizers pasted posters on billboards around the campus. The La’Onf poster for this year’s Annual Week of Nonviolence depicts a Dove flying with a Ballot Box, calling for the people of Iraq to use the elections as a nonviolent way of freely voicing their needs and hopes for the future for a unified Iraq.

The group also presented special materials on La’Onf and the goals of the nonviolence campaign to the Dean of the Education College.

LaOnf logoThe Iraqi civil-society organization La’Onf (which means “no violence” in Arabic) is a network of Iraqi activists building a nonviolence movement to resist occupation, terrorism, and corruption in Iraq. These images were taken during the third annual Week of Nonviolence in Iraq in 2008.

Visit www.peacefultomorrows.org for more information on a solidarity campaign for La’Onf.
