Mass Meeting in Baghdad
Celebrates 73rd Anniversary
of the Iraqi Communist Party
A public meeting was held at the International People's Stadium in
Baghdad on Saturday 31 March 2007, to celebrate the 73rd anniversary of the
Iraqi Communist Party.
The hall was packed with about 10,000 people despite the difficult
security situation in the Iraqi capital. Central Committee members attended the
event, with guest speakers representing the Iraqi President and the Parliament
Speaker, as well as many messages from political parties, democratic and civil
society organisations. It was significant that a large number of participants
were young people.

The political and cultural program included speeches, poetry and songs.
The Central Committee speech was delivered by comrade Mohammed Jassim
al-Labban, Politburo member.
Similar events, celebrating Iraqi CP 's anniversary, took place in
other provinces throughout Iraq, including Basra (about 2000 people attended),
Nasseriyah, Diwaniyah, Hilla, Kut, Karbala, Najaf, Nineveh province, as well as
Iraqi Kurdistan (Sulaimaniyah, Halabja), and many districts. Iraqi CP
organisations abroad also c! elebrated this occasion.
The celebration this year has acquired a special significance,
demonstrating once again the determination of Iraqi Communists and democrats to
continue the fight to defeat anti-people forces, sectarian violence and
terrorism, end the occupation, achieve full national sovereignty, and build a
unified democratic and federal Iraq.
