U.S. Humanitarian Organization Prosecuted for Delivering Medicine and Toys to Iraq - Since January 15, 1996, VitW has sent nineteen delegations to Iraq, in public violation of United Nations sanctions. Delegation members have delivered symbolic amounts of medicine, medical supplies and (in some cases) toys directly to public hospitals and, in some instances, to the Iraqi Red Crescent Society for distribution. Members have witnessed the devastating conditions of civilian life resulting from eight and one half years of the most comprehensive embargo in the history of the U.N. www.nonviolence.org/vitw/htv5.html
