Fund pays protest costs
More than $l4OO had so far been given to Anglican Action’s Anti-Tour Defence Fund, said Mr Max Broadbent, the convenor of the group. The fund was intended to give financial support to people of limited means who had incurred legal expenses, fines and court costs because they. had demonstrated against the Springbok tour, he said. The recent Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch had urged par-
ishes to support Anglican Action's legal aid fund, Mr Broadbent said. There was a long tradition of active Christian non-vio-lent protest, going back to the earliest days of the Church, said Mr Broadbent. However, Anglican Action’s Anti-Tour Defence Fund had been designed to help people of all beliefs who had been arrested for offences such as tresspass, obstruction of a carriageway, and similar non-violent action.
