Solidarity events were held in three cities this year, Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland - links to photos are below. We understand the Morning Star was also flown in Dunedin. As well, a new initiative 'Messages of solidarity' was launched today.

The Morning Star flies in front of the Beehive (two photos); the solidarity gathering in parliament grounds (two photos); and an address to the gathering.
