Two far-right activists had to be dragged to the dock in front of the judge before being removed from a Christchurch courtroom this morning.
Kelvyn Alp and Hannah Spierer, presenters on the far-right platform Counterspin, were making their first appearance on charges of distributing objectionable material and failing to comply with police orders.
Protesters had also gathered outside the courthouse.
RNZ Ōtautahi reporter Niva Chittock has been covering the proceedings and spoke to Charlotte Cook.
