Video/Pictures: 120 NZ Freedom Convoy Protestors Arrested in Police Crackdown

New Zealand police on Thursday arrested 120 people who were protesting against coronavirus restrictions outside the national parliament.

The estimated 120 individuals of all ages arrested were reported to have been attempting to camp in the capital Wellington for a third night, following two days of Freedom Convoy protests where initially over one thousand people and multiple vehicles gathered against against New Zealand’s vaccine mandates and coronavirus restrictions.

In an effort to deter future protests, police have warned all those arrested will face trespass and obstruction charges alongside prosecution in court.

The police had reportedly told the remaining around 150-200 protestors – many of whom had vowed to stay there “as long as it takes – that they were trespassing, despite it being common practice for protest groups to rally on the lawn outside the parliament, and police previously having said their presence did “not constitute a trespass notice.”
