US Peace Groups Call On Drone Operators To Refuse To Fly
Today, World BEYOND War and Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR-USA) join Ban Killer Drones in calling on U.S. operators of MQ-9 Reaper drones, and other drones, to refuse to fly surveillance, targeting and assault missions against Iran and against sailors in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.
“U.S. drone operators are being placed intellectually and emotionally at the cutting edge of the Trump Administration’s illegal, immoral attacks against Iranian and Latin American people”, said Ban Killer Drones Co-coordinator Nick Mottern. “Today, we urge U.S. drone operators to stand up for life and for U.S. and international law and to step back from their drone control consoles and refuse to attack or to enable attacks by manned aircraft and other traditional weapons.”
