British couple on Iran peace mission
 	
Early on Friday 8 February, two British peace activists, artist Emily
Johns and  author Milan Rai, of St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, set
off for the Islamic Republic of Iran on what they describe as a 10-day
‘peace delegation in a time of crisis’.

	Members of the anti-war group Justice Not Vengeance (JNV), the couple
will be visiting four cities and meeting a wide range of Iranian
citizens in different parts of the country.

	Emily Johns, who visited Iran on a JNV delegation in 2006, said: ‘In
this time of diplomatic hostility between Britain and Iran, it is
important for ordinary people to strengthen person-to-person contact
between our countries and to interrupt the build-up to a possible
war.’

During their trip, the couple will be updating their delegation blog daily:
