Press release

The member organizations, the Board of Directors and the staff of the BioWeapons Prevention Project have learnt with shock and disbelief of the tragic death of Swedish Foreign Minister, Anna Lindh.

Anna Lindh was widely respected for her insights in domestic and foreign affairs, her deep commitment to human rights and equal opportunities for all peoples, and to arms control and disarmament. In particular, under her guidance Sweden has made significant contributions towards eliminating the threat of biological weapons.

The BWPP expresses its deepest sympathy to Anna Lindh's family, the Swedish government and the Swedish people.
