Anti-NATO Demonstrators Arrested
Thursday, June 3, 1999; 4:14 p.m. EDT

WASHINGTON (AP) -- More than two-dozen religious demonstrators were arrested
in front of the White House on Thursday after demanding that President
Clinton and NATO halt the bombing of Yugoslavia.

The arrests of members of the National Coalition for Peace in Yugoslavia
came moments after the Serb lawmakers in Belgrade approved a peace deal to
resolve the crisis and let more than 850,000 ethnic Albanians return to
Kosovo, a province of Serbia, Yugoslavia's dominant state.

Clinton said Yugoslavia's willingness to accept international peace terms
for Kosovo was encouraging and welcome but said there must be ``real
results'' before NATO bombing ends.

The 100 to 150 protesters were not satisfied.

``We are not here to demand the president's cautious optimism,'' said Gordon
Clark, executive director of Peace Action, one of seven groups that make up
the coalition.

Chanting, ``Stop the bombing, stop the killing, stop the suffering now,''
the demonstrators left Lafayette Park and crossed Pennsylvania Avenue toward
the White House's Northwest Gate. There, Clark and 25 other protesters knelt
in the driveway and sang hymns.

U.S. Park Police revoked their permit to protest because it required them to
avoid blocking traffic, according to U.S. Park Police Sgt. Robert MacLean.

The officers handcuffed the 26 demonstrators and loaded them into two police
vans, MacLean said. They were charged with demonstrating without a permit.
