From 12 pm until late into the night on Tuesday, protesters showed their MPs that they are serious about their anti-war stance. During this time, the Parliament was debating the case for war. Hundreds of protesters demonstrated outside of the Parliament Buildings. When it became clear that the majority of MPs had voted for taking the country into war with Iraq, angry activists shouted at the MPs as they were leaving the building by car at around 10:30 pm. Shortly after 11 pm, about 25 activists blocked the street in front of Parliament. The police violently dragged the protesters off the road. One activist was choked, one female activist kicked in the face by the police force. To my knowledge, nobody was arrested.
