JOHANNESBURG — On
March 23, 1000 anti-war campaigners gathered near Wanderers Stadium, the
venue for the one-day cricket World Cup final between Australia and India.
The anti-war protesters condemned the Australian government's participation
in the US-British invasion of Iraq. “We want to use the World Cup as an
opportunity to support the Australian people against its government's warmongering”,
Anti-War Coalition spokesperson Salim Vally said. After the demonstration
the protesters picketed the US consulate in Houghton Estate. Photo by Claire
