LOS ANGELES, September 29, 2006 - After refusing to return to Iraq for a second time, Army Specialist Agustin Aguayo turned himself in on Tuesday September 26, 2006 at the Fort Irwin Army Base near Barstow, California. Aquayo had filed for conscientious objector status before being deployed to Iraq in 2004. His petition was wrongfully denied by the military and he was forced to flee from a back bedroom window of his home in Germany rather than return for a second time.

LOS ANGELES, September 25, 2006 – A coalition of faith based groups succeeded in closing the army recruitment center in Hollywood today. Early Monday morning a group of about 50 marched down Hollywood Blvd. to the recruitment center and proceeded to block the entrance. They were prepared to risk arrest but it did not come to that. Police monitored the group but did not interfere. It is believed that the center knew in advance of the action and closed because of the demonstration.
About 25 people set up an all day vigil at the front doors to make sure the recruitment center did not try to reopen. One of the people who took part, Ann Bishop, said of the action “We may have saved a few lives. Somebody didn’t sign up, and maybe having a day to think it over they won’t sign up, and they won’t go some where and be killed or kill any body”.
