Protest Against Deployment of Troops to Tonga
Protest Against Deployment of Troops to Tonga
Peace Action Wellington opposes the deployment of the New Zealand military and police to Tonga and will protest outside the New Zealand Defence Headquarters in Stout Street, Wellington, today (Monday, 20th November) from 12:30pm.
"The Labour Government has supported recent occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, and are yet again eagerly sending soldiers and police into the pacific islands," said Valerie Morse, a member of Peace Action Wellington.
"These troops are serving in the interests of the feudal class in Tonga, while crushing people's desire for change."
"We stand in solidarity with the people's resistance in Tonga and support them in their struggle for self determination," said Valerie Morse.
