43 Arrested in Antiwar Protest at Olympia Port

HeadlineNov 15, 2007

In Washington state, 43 people were arrested at the Port of Olympia late Tuesday trying to block a shipment of military gear from Iraq. The protests were organized by the Olympia Port Militarization Resistance, which aims to stop the U.S. military from using the port to ship equipment to Iraq. Police used pepper spray to disperse a crowd of more than 150 people. It’s the second straight week of protests at the port.
