"Police demonstrated a complete inability to deal with symbolic, non-violent protest in a professional manner," said a member of the Weapons Inspection Arrestees Legal Support Group. "Wrestling people to the ground before dragging them away was unnecessary and provocative. The police showed an astonishing ability to turn a quite light-hearted protest into a confrontation." If you can help with the legal fund, please send your cheque made payable to 'Wellington Peace and Environment Trust', mark it for 'Embassy defence fund' and send to Embassy Defence Fund, PO Box 6387, Wellington.
