Today a group of activists invaded the Alcoa construction site at Reydarfjördur
and climbed cranes on the site. The aim of this action was to stop the work on
the site. Alcoa have been targeted because of their involvement in the
Kárahnjúkar dam project and the other proposed dam projects and aluminium
smelters in the Icelandic highlands as well as environmental destruction
worldwide. The Icelandic high court has judged that the building of the Alcoa
factory in Reydarfjördur is illegal; we demand that the construction of this
factory is immediately halted in observance of this court ruling.

This action was only one of many that shall be taken against Alcoa and their
like in Iceland and across the world. The last clean wilderness in Western
Europe, heavy industry must not be allowed to despoil Icelandic nature. This is
a call out to the people of Iceland and all in peoples of the earth to stand up
and fight against the destruction of our environment and culture. Enough is
enough! No more destruction! Heavy industry out of Iceland!
