Thousands of Brethren fill the square in front of the SP's Headquarters in support of peace in Majatra and nuclear disarmament

According to protest organizers, more than 75,000 Brethren, and tens of thousands of other Kalistani citizens, marched in Monday's anti-nuclear protest.  Protestors carried signs which said, "Ban ALL bombs" and "End Nuclear Terror-  Support ANBC" as they marched along Republican Avenue to the ruling Socialist Party's headquarters building.

Said one protestor:  "It's time for the world to abolish nuclear weaponry.  We don't want our children growing up in the shadow of a mushroom cloud.  The Government needs to stand up for peace."

Protest organizer and spokeswoman Phylicia Girrard said:  "What the people want to make clear is that we are not JUST for Vanuku getting rid of its weapons of mass destruction.  There is that.  But the biggest threat to Kalistan in the last 20 years has been nuclear armed Kazulia.  So we call on them to get rid of their weapons too.  ALL of them.  Every single offensive weapon that they and their Northern Council uses to hang a sword over the necks of non-aligned nations.  Every missile they plan on firing at others.  Every bullet they plan on sending downrange so that it can destroy the life not only of the soldier it hits, but also his and her entire family.  We call on full disarmament from ALL nuclear powers.  If we are going to have Vanuku do it, we should have everyone do it."

The Crowd chanted for general adoption of the Anti-Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Treaty to which Kalistan and Baltusia are parties.  "Yeah, there are a lot of countries claiming they want peace," said one teenage Brethren protestor.  "They say, oh, peace this, peace that, hurt, punish, crush Vanuku.  Well, where are they when it comes to getting rid of the thing they are so upset at Vanuku about?  Nowhere.  They don't really want peace, they just want to hurt and punish and dominate.  If they really wanted peace, they would get rid of their own nuclear weapons and free this world of those tools of complete monsters."


The Jahtelites jam at the post-Protest show, and sing crowd favorite "Stop the Bomb, Fire the Bong"

The protests began with a 6 mile march, and ended with 45 minutes of speeches, and finished up with a Reggae concert from reggae and ska band "The Jahtelites".  Most of the crowd stayed for the show, and celebrated in the name of peace and humanity late into the evening.
