Donate to support the arrested activists

Most of those arrested have been denied bail and remain in prison. As well as legal fees, they need help paying for their expenses while in jail, such as: phone cards and toiletries; paying any bills they are now unable to meet as in most cases their income has been or soon will be stopped; and petrol costs to allow family and friends to visit them.

In New Zealand, the best option is to make a payment directly into the bank account:

Account Name: Peace Action Wellington
Account Number: 02-0536-0458570-00
Particulars/Code/Reference: LEGAL DEF

For international supporters, you can use paypal (see here for the code if you'd like to put a donation button on your site):
