About a dozen supporters picketed the Melbourne Magistrates Court this morning in support of
anti-war activist Reta Kaur, who is charged with causing criminal damage of $9000 to the US consulate in St Kilda Road by painting anti-war slogans on the wall.
From a media release issued by the Moreland Peace Group, of which Reta is a member:
Anti-war campaigners will gather outside the Melbourne Magistrates Court this morning
(Thursday, March 11) in a show of support for peace activist Reta Kaur.
Reta Kaur, founder of Women for Peace: No Weapons, No War and a member of the Moreland Peace
Group, is facing a court appearance over allegations that she caused $9000 damage to
property outside the US consulate in St Kilda Rd.
"This is a blatant attempt to punish and intimidate the peace movement," said Moreland Peace
Group spokesperson David Glanz.
"Paint washes off, but a child killed by a Cruise missile is dead forever.
"Reta Kaur opposed an illegal war based on lies — while John Howard applauded 'shock and
awe' tactics that killed thousands of Iraqis.
"The charges against Reta Kaur should be dropped. Howard is the real criminal," Glanz added.
Picket:9:30am
233 William Street, city
