Edinburgh Anti-War protests

On Thursday 31st of October- Halloween and Samhuinn, anti-war protests were also taking place in Edinburgh.
Amongst other civil disobedience actions which were happening during the day, like banner drops at the Cowgate earlier this morning, a demonstration took place later on. Organised and structured by the "Stop the War Coalition" a short and small demonstration took place during working hours in the late afternoon. Starting at Bristo Square near the main University buildings, protesters gathered and took their time for performing street theatre, distributing leaflets, have talks, show around their banners and try to juggle away or to ride a unicycle. At the High Street/ Mound junction some people actually refused to move themselves during a sit-down when asked by police and got dragged away.
Speeches were hold in front of the Church assembly which is used as the temporary parliament.
Afterwards there were antiwar film shows organised in the Forest Café, screening the "Hidden Wars of Desert Storm" and a documentary film from Indymedia Israel.
