This is the sms message that broke the news to me and it seems the world outside of the Belfast courtroom: 'Raytheon 9 in Belfast Acquitted on all charges - Eamonn McCann guilty of theft - got conditional discharge'.

Here is Ciaron's recent feature article on Indymedia which has updates on the proceedings:

Below is a brief interview I did with Eamonn McCann, one of the Raytheon 9 (www.raytheon9.org ) and veteran civil rights campaigner from Derry, Northern Ireland, speaking from Qana, Lebanon, (July 2007) on the 1st anniversary of the Israeli bombardment of Lebanon with Raytheon produced missiles.
