Religious Activists Stage Civil Disobedience Against Iraq War
|
Detroit, Michigan - Several hundred persons from various religious groups marched from Central United Methodist Church to the Federal Courthouse, where they read an "indictment" charging the Bush administration with "crimes against peace." Then they blocked entrances to the courthouse in a protest against war with Iraq. Twenty-seven were arrested. Ron Dale of Livionia, Michigan, a member of Pax Christi, carried a child-sized coffin labelled "Collateral Damage."
