You'll be aware of the series of
events over the last few days, stemming from police provocation of activists
at Saturday's anti-war demonstration. This email is to update you on
further GPJA developments in support of the right to hold public
demonstrations. 1. We've decided to hold no
further demonstrations outside the Auckland District Court this week. (Which
doesn't of course preclude people from supporting Peace Activists at their
hearings on Tuesday and Wednesday). 2. There will be a meeting at 5 pm
Tuesday at the Auckland Trades Hall, 147 Great North Road to Review the
events on Saturday, and to discuss Future Directions. 3. One suggestion mooted is in
three weeks time, GPJA hold a mass rally and march up Queen Street,
re-asserting a democratic right to peaceful, public protest. 4. A follow-up letter of complaint
about police harassment of Peace Activists holding newspapers will sent to
the Police Complaints Authority tonight. We look forward to your support
and involvement. Geraldene Peters (for, the GPJA
Committee) |
