Local peace activist Jo Wilding & film-maker Julia Guest arrived safely in Iraq two days ago. Jo has sent Bristol indymedia the first part of her travel diary which is reproduced below. Jo was part of the International Solidarity Movements' protest that highlighted the Israeli siege at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem last year, and for this was promptly deported.
