Anti-war, pro-refugee and civil rights activists picketed the ANZ Pavilion at the Melbourne Arts Centre this morning where Foreign Minister Alexander Downer was due to address a symposium on “Iraq and the challenges for Human Rights”.The event was presented by The Centre for Citizenship and Human Rights at Deakin University and the Iaqi Forum, and co-sponsored by AusAid, DFAT and the Northern Migrant Resource Centre.

Downer was able to evade the rodent trap set up at the main entrance by anti-war protesters, but he wasn't so lucky with Jacob Grech and two members of the Centre, one of whom was able to lay the requisite hand on him to formalise the arrest. The Foreign Minister was rescued and whisked away by security, but we understand a certain Sergeant Schmidt (?sp) undertook to ensure that he would be placed in police custody and brought promptly before a magistrate – probably nobody is holding their breath, though. The warrant, see below, specifies a number of offences, including war crimes and several violations of international conventions.
