Ploughshares | 29.06.2008 16:03 | Anti-militarism

On Thursday, June 26, 2008, two Ploughshares activists were arrested inside SAAB Microwave in Sweden. Using blacksmith hammers, Ulla Roder and Per Herngren started to disarm military radar at SAAB Microwave's test range at Mölndal and planted fig trees in the area around the factory.


" The word of the prophet Micah makes us move", explained Ulla Røder. "We beat SWORDS INTO PLOUGHSHARES.

"We do have the ability of direct intervention", Ulla Røder believes. "It becomes a duty when there is violence and suffering in the world. We use non-violence. I do believe that we are not practicing civil disobedience, but upholding International law. It is SAAB Microwave who breaks the law when delivering the missile firing system used during the war in Iraq.
