"We are a peaceful camp fighting for social justice"

IndyMedia has received a message from Lyn May of the Peace Tent Embassy on Heirrison Island in Perth that they are "getting a bad reputation from the media".

She asked us to show "that we are a peaceful camp fighting for social justice and no alcohol or fighting is allowed".

"Of course because of our location sometimes homeless and ill people come to our camp for food and warmth, and might make a bit of swearing and noise, but they are not a part of the Peace Embassy group.

"All people from all backgrounds are welcome to come to our camp and have a cup of tea and hear about our fight for justice."
