Sydney protesters jailed ("No War" painted on Opera House)

[lostnfound]

"Two men who painted an anti-war slogan on Sydney's Opera House have been sentenced to nine months of weekend detention.
Australian David Burgess, 33, and Briton Will Saunders, 43, were convicted last year of daubing "No War" in giant red letters on the landmark.

They were protesting at Australia's involvement in the US-led invasion of Iraq."

They also got a 50,000 pound fine.
