FCNL Staff and Committee Mourn the Death of Tom Fox - March 11, 2006
The committee and staff of the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) mourn the death of Tom Fox, a Quaker who was a member of the Christian Peacemaker Team (CPT) in Iraq. Tom was a member of Langley Hill Friends Meeting in Virginia. We hold Tom, his family, his associates in the CPT and all others affected by the violence in Iraq in the Light.
As a Quaker organization, we denounce the violence and brutality of war. Equally, we repudiate those who prey upon the civilians of Iraq. We appeal to those responsible for the kidnappings to release the remaining three peacemakers - Norman Kember, James Loney and Harmeet Sooden -unharmed. We support and applaude the many, many individuals, and religious and political leaders who are working to heal the wounds of this war.
