Russell, Ruth

We have 1 book for this author.

Ruth Russell, Australian peace activist, was one of five Australian citizens who travelled to Iraq in 2003 to function as a human shield. Her stated reason for doing so was to show "solidarity with the Iraqi civilians who will suffer greatly from the planned invasion of Iraq".^[1] She was located for three weeks at the Taji Food Silo.

In 2007, it was announced that Russell would be the Australian Democrats' number one senate choice in South Australia for the forthcoming federal election, replacing retiring senator Natasha Stott-Despoja.
