Councillor rallying for protest to be banned from parts of Christchurch
Protesting could be banned from some parts of Christchurch, if one councillor gets his way. The council will tomorrow vote on a notice of motion requesting staff investigate Aaron Keown's proposal to create protest-free zones at what he calls 'sensitive sites', including the Bridge of Remembrance, the earthquake memorial, places of worship and cemeteries. That's alarmed one of the city's best-known protesters and Amnesty International, as Keiller MacDuff reports.
