300 protesters took to the streets in Auckland today to show their anger at the 18 arrested in "anti-terror" raids across the country. The protesters blocked the road outside the Central police station for around 30 minutes with two protesters lowering the New Zealand flag at one point, their attempts to fly the Maori Sovereignty flag were prematurely ended by hald a dozen cops which ran out of the station and tackled the two activists. Their was a wide range of support at the protest from anarchists, peace activists, friends and family and the public.

Protests will continue at the prison and various other locations across Auckland until all those arrested are freed.

Drop the charges! Free the Urewera 18!

Great Solidarity and Support! Good Work~!

Good Shit Telling these nazi gestapo pigs to leave us alone. No More Police Or Prisons... No More Crown, No More Military Industry so No More State or Capitalism!

We need to prevent violence through cooperative community engagement and awareness, no society will be perfect but we'll never stop striving for the improvement of conditions for all! For social ecological harmony, for a society that shares and doesn't tolerate any form of abuse~! -(A)-

I respect and support Tino Rangatiratanga!

Fuck Imperialism. Stop the global development of Totalitarianism before it stops our existence!

I am striving to comprehend what is happening, as this regards my people. Being in Oz for so many years of my young life it is difficult to understand, however I know for sure that an injustice is being done. I can easily see that injustice's happen all over the world on a daily basis - but as I am of Maori heritage this is particularly important to me. Please advise on details, to a Maori Woman who has lived in Australia for her entire adult life the "real" story here, and not just some trumped up media 'coverage'.
