Smash EDO Protest Camp
Recently various groups in Brighton have been acting to kick out local arms dealers EDO MBM. Among many things they make release mechanisms which attach and release bombs on F16s, Hawks and Tornados. The company has publicly admitted that their products manufactured in Brighton have been used in Iraq and we believe they may be used in Israel. They also have a ‘Live Firing Test Facility’. Actions taken already include shutting the factory down for a day with a road block and rooftop occupation.( http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2004/05/291990.html).
A protest camp will be set up at the end of August as part of the ongoing campaign against these arms dealers. Starting on the Monday with NVDA wokshops and daily protests through the rest of the week.
People arriving can be met by local supporters if requested. The Megabus is a good, cheap way to get here.
Bring tents and other camping gear. Support to those from outside Brighton will be given by local activists.
