Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair found himself on the receiving end of an attempted citizen’s arrest in Hong Kong on Thursday as he took the stage to deliver an address. Blair had just been introduced to the crowd when activist Tom Grundy called for his arrest for helping the U.S. invade Iraq in 2003.

Tom Grundy: “I’m conducting a citizen’s arrest for crimes against peace under the Hong Kong Power 101 law. You misled the British people. You caused the deaths of at least 100,000 people. Hong Kong police are obliged to support your arrest.”

Moderator: “Excuse me. I think we are having a lecture today. A lot of people have come here to listen. Excuse me, a lot of people have come.”

Grundy: “The Iraq war defied the Nuremberg principles, the U.N. Charter, the Geneva Convention, and a pending International Court Rome Statute.”

Tony Blair: “OK, you’ve made your point. Now why don’t you let me get on and make mine. OK, thank you very much. Go on.”

Grundy: “You can’t talk about faith when you set back religious tolerance decades.”

Moderator: “Thank you. I think you’ve made your point. Thank you very much. I can wait with him for the police.”

Blair: “Sorry, you have to go, I’m afraid. So, well, you made your point. There it is. And that’s democracy for you.”

Moderator: “I’m sure you’re used to this all the time.”

Blair: “Actually, I am used to it.”

Grundy: “You should be. You’re a war criminal!”
