Perth Peace Rally
Six hundred protesters flocked to Perth's Supreme Court Gardens on the bright blue afternoon of April 13 to take part in a peace rally organized by local anti-war groups. The rally began with speeches made by various group leaders and a vibrant forty-minute march ensued.

Rally Organisers Say
We asked the peace rally organisers their opinion of the war on Iraq.
The US-led invasion of Iraq is an illegal and unprovoked attack on a poor and largely defenceless nation and a war crime. As millions of people involved in antiwar demonstrations around the world have stressed, the war was not to bring democracy and freedom to the Iraqi people but to establish US control of the country's vast oil wealth as part of Washington's broader agenda of subordinating the Middle East and the entire world to America's economic and strategic interests.
