15 Arrested in Olympia While Blocking Military Convoy

HeadlineNov 12, 2007

In Olympia, Washington, 15 antiwar demonstrators were arrested over the weekend while attempting to block a military convoy carrying Stryker vehicles. The protests were organized by the Olympia Port Militarization Resistance, which aims to stop the U.S. military from using the Port of Olympia to ship equipment to Iraq. Protest organizers also accused police of brutalizing dozens of peaceful demonstrators and journalists. On Saturday, police dressed in riot gear repeatedly used pepper spray and batons to break up the protest.
