Wednesday February 14 2024 Bay Harbour News Use of prop babies Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEWS 3 distressing to children • From page 1 Guest does not want to be misunderstood as anti- Palestinian. “It’s not that I don’t support their cause. I absolutely respect their right to protest, I just was really, really upset in the manner that it was carried out.” Guest would have liked some advanced warning about the demonstration. “I could have put steps in place to stop my children from being exposed to things like that.” She found the use of red paint and the prop dead babies offensive. “It’s not a 9 and 10-year-old’s responsibility to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders.” Protest organiser Ihorangi Reweti-Peters said the use of the props and road blocking was justified to spread awareness of child deaths in the Israel-Hamas war. “I stand by civil disobedience. Our Government still hasn’t called for a ceasefire.” He said the prop dead babies were used to represent the children killed in Gaza by Israel. Use of the props will likely continue at future protests in CONFRONTING: Protestors created bundles to act as prop baby bodies, representing those killed in Gaza since the beginning of the recent Israel-Hamas War. PHOTO: RNZ Lyttelton and elsewhere, as he views it as an important tool to spread the protest message. “What I don’t agree with is the pepper spray and the police brutality towards peaceful protesters who were standing on the footpath,’ said Reweti-Peters. Guest rebukes the idea the HIKING BOOTS & SHOES For men, women and children From $79.95 to $250 47c Garlands Road, Woolston Phone 389 3431 www.thefootwearfactory.co.nz protest was fully peaceful. “That’s flat out wrong,” she said. “The protesters were hitting police officers with their signs and being dragged off the road.” Police said they were aware of the use of the props. “While we appreciate some people may have found the items confronting, our primary concern was any behaviour that put those involved, the public and our staff at risk.” Police said pepper spray was used because “a handful of people failed to comply with police requests to move and following a number of warnings, staff utilised tactical options available.” A spokesperson said four men at the protest were taken into custody and charged with obstructing a public place, resisting police and assaulting police. Two of the men, political activists John Minto and Paul Hopkinson, appeared in the district court on Monday. Their next appearance is April 22. The men were among those pepper sprayed and have now laid a complaint with the Independent Police Conduct Authority. $5.4m aerospace runway opens at Kaitorete Spit NEW ZEALAND’S growing aerospace sector received a big lift on Friday with the opening of an upgraded 1km runway and hangar on Kaitorete Spit.
