Serbian deminer Branislav Kapetanovic - a cluster bomb survivor protesting today in Wellington
*****
This afternoon in Wellington cluster bomb victims were joined by members of the public in a protest at the impact of
cluster munitions. The impact of cluster bombs would have been brought home to many a lunch-goer in Wellington's civic
square who stumbled across various cluster bomb amputees brandishing placards. The Wellington conference regarding
cluster munitions has been attended by victims of cluster bombs from countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Serbia.
