On 17th January 2009, as the bombs rained down on Gaza, six people entered the EDO factory in Brighton. They threw computers and filing cabinets out of the first floor window and took hammers to machinery used for weapons production. The factory makes parts for weapons that have been used against the people if Iraq, Afganistan and Palestine. (see www.smashedo.org.uk for more information) Their aim was to disable the war machine and to take action against those who profit from the aerial bombardment of Gaza. The factorys offices were out of action for a month and hundreds of thousands of pounds of damage was reported.

The EDO Decommisioners always intended to go to trial – now set for June 7th – Not as the accused but as the accusers making the case that their action was lawful because they were disarming an arms factory which is complicit in war crimes.
