i got an email today concerning the rally...call it a protest, a rally...a gathering, whatever - here's the info concerning the event:

doha • The Central Municipal Council (CMC) will be taking out a rally this evening to highlight the woes of the people of Iraq who are suffering due to foreign invasion. The rally is slated to begin from the park near Doha Sheraton and snake its way to the Corniche via Al Bida Park. "No for invasion and sectarian divide in Iraq," is the motto of the rally, a press statement issued by the CMC said yesterday.

"Our brothers in Iraq have been suffering for years. We want to express our solidarity with them," said the statement. A number of prominent religious scholars and expatriate organisations will be taking part in the rally. The CMC has called on residents to make the rally a success by participating in huge numbers. The gathering point is the park near Doha Sheraton and the rally will start at 4pm.

so there you go. How was it? Did anyone experience it?
