Stryker protesters plead not guilty
The Star Bulletin reports
that the three protesters arrested last month at a public hearing on the Army's
proposed Stryker combat brigade pleaded not guilty yesterday in Wahiawa District
Court. Dr. Kekuni Blaisdell, one of
those arrested, is quoted: "The Army already has taken our lands and destroyed
them, including Kahoolawe, Makua (Valley), Waikane Valley and Pearl Harbor.
The proper thing for the U.S. is to
withdraw, but instead, they are taking more of
our land, destroying our land and arresting us when we protest."
