Citizen's arrest on Tony Blair worth $4,500

GPJA is encouraging interested New Zealanders to earn thousands of dollars by making a citizen's arrest of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair for war crimes committed during the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Up to one million Iraqi civilians have been killed since the 2003 attacks led by Tony Blair and former US President George Bush using lies and deceit to justify the outrage. Iraq posed no immediate threat to any other country, there were no weapons of mass destruction and no plans or programme to develop WMD. Tony Blair knew this but deceived the public and a gullible media because British multinationals wanted their share of the massive Iraqi oil reserves.

Tony Blair is coming to Auckland on Thursday to speak at a corporate fundraising lunch at Eden Park and anyone able to make a citizens arrest according to the criteria below will earn $4,500.

The details of the reward payments are here http://www.arrestblair.org/ and involve -

1.. A non-violent "citizens arrest" of Blair which involves
2.. Getting close enough to utter the words "Mr Blair, this is a citizens' arrest for a crime against peace, namely your decision to launch an unprovoked war against Iraq. I am inviting you to accompany me to a police station to answer the charge."
3.. Having the attempt published in a mainstream news outlet (as opposed to a blog etc)

The money comes from donations received by the website which was started by the UK Guardian columnist George Monbiot.

Whoever makes the arrest will receive a quarter of the pool available which now stands at almost 10 thousand pounds. It's a chance for someone to earn some serious money from a good cause. Three payouts have been made so far from the site but no New Zealanders .yet.

We advise anyone wanting to attempt the arrest to try at the airport when he arrives on Wednesday evening or leaves on Thursday afternoon. Alternatively at his hotel or at the Eden Park dinner.

For example an investment of $495 for a ticket could bring a return of $4,500 within a few hours. Even Tony Blair would approve such a sure-fire investment.

Meanwhile protestors will be gathering outside the Walters Road entrance to the park from 11am this Thursday 28th July.
