The event itself:
HAMMERTIME! EDO make weapons components vital for the waging of aerial war. EDO's technology is used to attack people from Palestine to Iraq, from Afghanistan to Pakistan. They arm F-16s, build components for Paveway bombs and help develop technology for Predator and Reaper drones. During Israel's 2009 massacre in Gaza the 'decommissioners' broke into EDO and by causing hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage shut down the production line. Their defence was that theywere acting to prevent war crimes. Sixteen months later they were foundnot guilty by a unanimous jury verdict. The question ,after all this, is how long can EDO sustain their bloody business in Brighton? Now it's time for a final push to remove the factory from Brighton. Our action comes at a time when the people of Afghanistan are being targetted by remote controled Unmanned drones piloted by mercenaries on the other side of the globe are used to maintain aerial supremacy in Afghan skies. Tens of thousands of Afghans have died in the nine year assault. Now is the time to attack the industries which are propping up the occupation. It's Hammertime! We are calling for people from around the UK and beyond to join us in besieging EDO. We aim to shut the factory forthe day.
