He was expelled from Chile following hte US-backed coup that overthrew the democratically elected President Allende in 1973. The coup took place on September 11 1973 and resulted in the 'disappearance' of three thousand people - not to mention the thousands that were tortured and killed in the years after the coup.

During the second and continuing war on Iraq she stayed in Baghdad right up until the Coalition forces invaded the city. In 1998 she was sentenced to one year prison for planting corn on nuclear missile silo sites.

She was an insightful and compassionate analyst during the war on Iraq, critical of both the Saddam regime and the 'Coalition war', and appeared on the Late Late Show and many other current affairs and discussion programmes. She plans to bring a medical aid convoy to Iraq within the next couple of months.
