The Health Through Peace conference took place in London on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th November 2015. It brought together over 700 health professionals and health students to learn about and discuss issues related to war, conflict and militarisation.
Ben is a former British SAS soldier who refused to return to Iraq and left the Army, citing the “illegal” tactics of United States troops and the policies of coalition forces but also that the invasion itself was contrary to international law. He expected to be court-martialled, but was instead let go with a glowing testimonial from his commanding officer.
