Water in fountains across Aotearoa has been dyed red in protest action on Anzac Day.

Wellington’s iconic Cuba Street fountain water was coloured red in the anti-war protest. Fountains were also targeted in Christchurch, Nelson, Auckland, and Hamilton.

Posters at the Cuba Street fountain read: “Do not normalise Anzac violence”, “Honour the fallen by swearing never again”, “Best way to honour our veterans? Don’t create more,” and “No glory in war. No pride in genocide”.

Co-convenor of Justice For Palestine, Samira Zaitoun, said individuals carried out the dyeing which was not organised by Justice For Palestine.
