Indymedia mentions that Global Peace and Justice Auckland have established a defence fund for those arrested in this weeks raids. Donations can be made to:
38-9000-0099726-00
Remember to label them as being for the defence fund.
Peace Action Wellington also has a legal defence fund: 02-0536-0458570-00 Particulars/Code/Reference: LEGAL DEF.
Everyone deserves a good defence in court, no matter what they are accused of, so I urge everyone to contribute.
Meanwhile, a thousand people protested in Whakatane this morning, and protests are also planned for around the country this Saturday:
Auckland: Saturday, 20 October, 12:00, Aotea Square
Christchurch: Saturday, 20 October, 12:00, Cathedral Square
Dunedin: Saturday, 20 October, 12:00, Albany St Labour Party office.
I guess whether anyone turns up will depend on what the police lay on the table today.
