Peace Prize Protest
Five LA Catholic Workers were arrested today at the Downtown Federal Building, for calling on President Obama to end the wars or give up his Nobel Peace Prize. Catherine Morris, David Omondi, Jeff Dietrich, John Yvetich and Mike Wisniewski climbed the steps onto federal property and blocked the doorway while shouting ” Obama! No Peace, No Prize!” Documentary filmmaker Ernest Savage was also arrested while attempting to record the event. Mike had his arm violently twisted by a security guard, and was immediately transported to the hospital upon being arrested. He was released several hours later with a pulled muscle, a sprained elbow and a torn ligament.
We pray for the madness to end.
Check out photos of the protest.
