EDO Decommissioners Acquitted

Yesterday five of the seven EDO decommissioners, on trial in Brighton for damaging the EDO arms factory during last year's attack on Gaza by Israel, were found not guilty. The other two verdicts are expected tomorrow (Friday). The court isn't sitting today.
The defendants successfully argued in court that they were acting to prevent war crimes by Israel against the people of Gaza.

See Stop The War Coalition's website http://stopwar.org.uk/content/view/1977/27/ and the report in today's Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jun/30/activists-a...itted

To mark this victory, supporters of Bristol Stop The War Coalition and Bristol Palestine Solidarity campaign will assemble at the daily peace vigil on the Centre (opposite the Hippodrome) tomorrow, Friday 2nd July, at 5pm. Please join us to celebrate the achievement of the EDO decommissioners.
