This image was taken (but not used) for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 15 August 1981, with the caption: "Protesters arrested in city march." Seven protesters were arrested at different times during the march and three were later charged with obstruction. This march began in Amesbury Street and continued down Broadway. At the intersection of broadway and the Square, the march diverged with some following the route agreed to in the permit and others linking arms in the intersection, prompting police intervention.
