Cluster Bomb Victims Stage Wellington Protest
Click for big version
This afternoon in Wellington cluster bomb victims were joined by members of the public in a protest at the impact of cluster munitions. The impact of cluster bombs would have been brought home to many a lunch-goer in Wellington's civic square who stumbled across various cluster bomb amputees brandishing placards. The Wellington conference regarding cluster munitions has been attended by victims of cluster bombs from countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Serbia.

Joining in solidarity with the victims is landmine, and now cluster bomb crusader, Jody Williams. Ms. Jody Williams is the founding coordinator of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. In 1997 she won the Noble Peace prize.
