Swan Island Peace Convergence Day 2: Four activists arrested blockading base
Anti war activists have geared up their protest by blocking access to the secretive Swan Island military base near Queenscliff at 6am today (Tuesday 5 July 2011). Four protesters have already been arrested this morning as about 40 local and visiting activists converged in the small town in protest against Australia’s continuing participation in the US-lead war in Afghanistan.Co-organiser Jessica Morrison said many activists were prepared to be arrested for the cause.
“We are fully prepared to be arrested using non-violent civil disobedience,” Ms Morrison said. ”The majority of Australians agree that our troops must come home, but to date our government has been ignoring us. We cannot stand by while Australians and innocent Afghan citizens are killed by our military”.
