Bryan Law (1954-2013) was an Australian peace activist who became well-known after breaking into (Pine Gap in 2005 ) as a passive protest against the Iraq War, and again for breaking into a military base in (Rockhampton in 2011 ) and hammering a hole into a military helicopter to ensure that it couldn't operate. Bryan and his wife Margaret Pestorius coordinate the (Cairns Peace By Peace ) organisation. Bryan Law also disrupted the logging on world heritage site Fraser Island, as just one of the many times that he proved that passive resistance and peaceful protests work, inspiring the next generation of (Australian Peace Activists. ) ==History== Bryan Joseph Law was born in 1954 in the Brisbane suburb of Moorooka. Both his parents had been in the army during the war. His father served in the New Guinea and his mother in Townsville. Bryan attended Yeronga State High School excelling in the sciences. He went briefly to the University of Queensland to study Chemistry and then dropped out. He then worked for the Education Department as a clerk; again only briefly. Ordinary work was not his thing, though he drove taxis for 15 years in Cairns. In his thirties, Bryan returned to Griffith University to study history and politics with a special interest in Asia and Pacific history and regional militarism. He was a campus activist in the years of free education and became President of the Student Union where he began his lifelong tussles with the Labor and Liberal party apparatchiks with their annoying dogmas. He was a true Independent. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bryan Law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
