Activists occupy roof of G4S HQ

2 July 2012

Activists are staging a rooftop occupation at the headquarters of security multinational G4S near Crawley, West Sussex, in protest at what they claim are “illegal and criminal activities” in both the UK and Palestine/Israel.

Early this morning, two activists climbed on top of the multistory
building and secured themselves in place using superglue and bike locks.

Two banners were seen hanging from the edge of the building. One read “G4S – Profiting from: Israeli Apartheid, Prison Slavery, Deadly Deportations”.

Another dozen protesters are surrounding the building on the ground,
shouting slogan and holding anti-G4S placards.

G4S provides equipment to prisons inside Israel to which Palestinian
political prisoners from occupied territory are transferred in violation of the Geneva Conventions, tortured and subjected to arbitrary detention.

Oh wait a mo

G4S also involved with the "shoot the bastard" regime in China.

G4S upstanding, human rights, observing paragons of virtue? Well of course not, like expecting any global corporation to give a fuck about any of that ethical shit over "the bottom line" is dumb.

Nice one - good to highlight the damage these bastardsat G4S do, responsible for so much misery and death across the world. Their growing power is little known but really worrying.
Hope activists present are all ok.
Solidarity with migrants and detainees everywhere.

I'm sure that if you think hard enough it won't take you too long to figure out why people opposed to EDO might also have a problem with G4S...rather compatible concerns I'd say.

I see that SmashEDO do not believe in freedom of speech and delete any negative comments.

Sad days when can't accept criticism and realise your campaign is a waste of time. Oh well it gives you something to do.
