Others were still being arrested into the evening, charged with demonstrating without a permit, a misdemeanor that carries a $50 US fine.

They were expected to be released after several hours.

"It's a completely fascinating array of people being arrested," said Bill Dobbs, spokesman for the group United for Peace and Justice, which organized the event.

"It's good. This represents an escalation by the peace movement. It's really sending a message to the White House."

The protest, which included clergy, military families and veterans, was the latest in a three-day anti-war effort that included a record 100,000 demonstrators in the capital Saturday.
