Some
20 protesters participated today in the
demonstration outside the mission, a few blocks from
the UN building, calling for a U.S. withdrawal from
Iraq, ANSA reports.
Sheehan’s intention was to deliver a petition signed
by 60,000 individuals demanding an end to the war to
John Bolton, the UN ambassador, but no one would
agree to accept it.
She
became a public figure last summer after camping out
for weeks near the Bush family ranch in Crawford,
Texas.
She was previously detained by
police for protesting without a permit outside the
White House.
