Smash EDO is a campaign against the arms manufacturer and dealer
EDO/MBM in Brighton. This company produces and supplies vital weapons
components for the UK, US and Israeli militaries.

The campaign began in 2004 by residents of Brighton who were sickened
to learn that a company in their home town was profiting from the
illegal and immoral slaughter in Iraq.

The campaign has included pickets, regular noise demos, rooftop
protests, blockades, marches through town and summer peace camps.
Protesters also defeated EDO when they attempted to impose an
injunction in the high court, and last year EDO was forced to close
˜EDO rugged systems' (one third of their operation in
Moulsecoomb.)

The campaign stands on the brink of a major victory. The closure of
the factory will send shock waves through the UK/US arms industry.
