KAUA`I PROTEST ENDS PEACEFULLY
“We’re Leaving On Our Own Terms” Say Protesters

Naue, Kaua`i – The protest at the residential property of Joseph Brescia stopping luxury home construction over an ancient Hawaiian cemetery on Kaua`i’s North Shore has ended peacefully late this afternoon.

“Were leaving on our own terms,” remarked protestor Andre Perez of Pohaku O Kane. “Should Governor Lingle fail to intervene and construction start up again, we will be back in force.”

Over thirty protestors and cultural practitioners from O`ahu, Maui, Molokai and Hawai`i Island had arrived this morning and secured themselves to each other and the property by means of a popular activist lock-down device that results in law enforcement authorities spending several hours in an attempt to remove them.

The property, formerly owned by actor Sylvester Stallone, and purchased by California luxury homebuilder Joseph Brescia seven years ago, is considered culturally sacred and contains at least thirty ancient burials as well as numerous artifacts.
