A large group of protesters battling against the controversial Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal have been arrested for trespassing in Wellington this afternoon.

The protesters, from the Show Us Ya Text group, aimed to gain access to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade headquarters to seize the text of the TPP.

Starting from 10am, the protest involved two people drumming as pairs of protesters took turns trying to get into the building to chants of "let us pass".

However, around 20 police officers created an arm-to-arm human barricade outside the building, preventing demonstrators from entering.
