The Clown Army turned up for a home demo at Neal Garnett's home in
Brooklyn (Wellington) at about 1:30pm today Sunday Oct 15th with
drums, banners and loud chanting. On their departure the clowns were
stopped by 4 police cars, and held until a paddy wagon arrived. All
were taken down to the police station and are still in the process of
being released on bail (as at 7pm). Charges so far for three released
are for "unlawfully being on a property."

This is just one of the ever increasing signs of injustice in Aotearoa
and the world, where a man who organises the showcasing and sale of
arms and associated weapons equipment to blast to smitherens innocent
people in Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine and elsewhere, is protected while
non-violent protestors are arrested, harrassed and detained
unjustifiably.

Mass demonstrations bringing protestors from across the country and
several international peace campaigners, begin Tuesday outside Te Papa
Tongarewa.
