DRONE VICTIMS APPEAR BEFORE HOUSE-WATCH LIVESTREAM

"I saw her shoes. We found her mutilated body a short time afterwards," – Nabila, 8-year-old granddaughter of drone strike victim Mamana Bibi 

On Tuesday, October 29, at 10AM EST, Rafiq ur Rahman – a primary school teacher in Pakistan – will appear at a briefing called by Representative Alan Grayson (FL-09), along with his children Nabila and Zubair.  In October 2012, Nabila and Zubair were injured in the same drone strike that killed their grandmother – Rafiq’s mother - while she was tending crops in her garden. This landmark briefing marks the first opportunity for Congress to hear in-person accounts from drone strike survivors.

The Congressional briefing will be available to watch via live stream. RSVP today to witness as Rafiq, Nabila, and Zubair share their intimate account of living through a drone strike, the loss they experienced, and the devastating aftermath.

"I'm looking forward to hearing from the drone strike victims," said Congressman Grayson. "When it comes to national security matters like drone strikes, it's important that we hear not only from the proponents of these attacks, but also from the victims. They have a unique perspective to share with Congress, and I hope that my colleagues will attend this important event on October 29th."

Rafiq ur Rehman has traveled from North Waziristan to tell his story before Congress because he believes that more people should know that these strikes are killing and terrorizing innocent families. It is imperative that Congress and the White House know that the implementation of U.S. drone strikes abroad are fueling anti-American sentiment and serving as a tool for terrorist recruitment.

Don't miss this historic event. – RSVP* now to watch as drone survivors, for the first time, share their story with Congress.

Sincerely,

Robert Greenwald & The War Costs Team
