Ahava’s last day

Recent photographs showing an almost empty shop and boxes waiting for the removal van strongly suggests that the illegal settlement company Ahava will soon be leaving Monmouth Street for good.

This is the end result of the London campaign to expose Ahava, which has been found to be complicit in Israeli violations of international law.

This time the shop really IS closed!

These empty shelves aren't the result of any Zionist BUYcott

Lights out for Ahava! Boxes packed and ready to go.

The successful outcome for the campaign is thanks to the efforts of truthtellers, activists and human rights campaigners who helped to cleanse Monmouth Street of this notorious retailer of Dead Sea beauty products made from natural resources plundered from the Palestinian people and manufactured on an illegal West Bank settlement.

This component of CODEPINK’s international ‘Stolen Beauty’ campaign against Ahava has been ongoing for two years. Among the tactics used in London were fortnightly public demonstrations, legal challenges, occupations and other forms of direct action.

If you wish to say a final good riddance, rumours are that the move out will take place later today, Tuesday 20 September.

Activists have vowed to continue the campaign should Ahava relocate to other premises.
