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!
