Another coal protester arrested after allegedly blocking a train in Dunedin at the weekend has been remanded on bail without plea.
Michael Terrence Fay (80), of Waitati, was charged with ''knowingly obstructing any employee in the performance of his or her duty as a person employed in the service of New Zealand Railways Corporation'' and ''without express or implied authority of Tranz Rail, entered their railway infrastructure'', on December 4.
He appeared before a registrar in the Dunedin District Court yesterday and, like Bruce Bertram Mahalski, 58, and Abigail Katrina Liddy, 43, who were in court on Tuesday, was remanded without plea to December 21.
A Christchurch woman and a Nelson woman also appeared in court yesterday, taking the total number to eight.
