Welsh assembly occupied (again!) in anti-war protest

Cardiff Anarchist Network | 18.03.2003 18:04

Activists from Cardiff Anarchist Network occupied the chamber of the Welsh Assembly for the second time in six months in protest at the impending illegal attack on Iraq.

At 2:45pm this afternoon, nine activists from the Cardiff Anarchist Network occupied the Welsh Assembly in protest at the illegal war on Iraq that is hours away from starting. Five activists leapt from the public gallery and staged a sit-in in front of the speaker's podium in the main debating chamber, bringing the assembly's business to a complete halt.At the same time, two more attempted to climb the truss inside the Assembly's foyer, and the last tried to D-lock himself to it. All were released without charge, and the group's action even garnered support from two assembly members, who came out of the building to congratulate the protestors, saying that as Tony Blair had ignored the wishes of the people of this country and the will of the United Nations, he was no longer in any position to lecture anyone on illegalities. Keep up the direct action - keep up the pressure. News report on action: http://icwales.icnetwork.co.uk/0100news/0200wales/page.cfm?objectid=12749558&method=full&siteid=50082

well what can i say, i think it was morte of a success than anyone imagined.
once we had lept over the small glass pillar that seperated us from the politicians we had a very avid audience. especially when feb15th was mentioned and the fact that many welsh folks were there...etc.
thanks to our actions there will be a special war meeting tomorrow in the building!!!!

needless to say we've all been banned from the place for life, but hey, who cares? they don't speak for us!!!!

to everyone across the country who are taking control of their lives and making a difference, i give my greatest respect. we the people have more power than anything, and we are scaring the shit out of the state! keep it up!

When the reporter of CBS asked ex Secretary of the State
Madeleine Albright does she thinks that the dead of
half million children in Iraq is worth of sanctions that
are employed for more than ten years now she sad: "I think
that the aim is acheived and United States think that the dead of those children is worth of that aim."

My people, I gotta say only this: die bitch, die.
