Most news media took pictures of the climate change “civil disobedience” protest today at vantage points outside the SkyCity Auckland Convention Centre.

But Asia Pacific Report had a photographer on the inside – with the protesters blockading the floor leading to the venue of the New Zealand Petroleum Conference.

Asia Pacific’s Del Abcede captured these images of police dragging away the protesters.

The non-violent civil disobedience action was organised by Greenpeace.
