Bayer Come a Cropper
A look at the Bayer injunction
Take a look at the terms of the interim court order given to Bayer (if you dare)...
Lawyers outlaw protest where UK governments fail
How one lawyer is abusing the law to succeed where governments have failed and outlaw all forms of legitimate protest, especially for genetic & animal abuse activity. Discussion of how they have been doing this and details for you to take action.
Bayer Feb 11th high court ruling
Today, Bayer AG tried to make permanent a court order against six named individuals and five 'organisations' connected to campaigns against the company.
Bayer and the criminalisation of dissent
Today (Wednesday 11th), in the High Court in London, Bayer AG (the German pharmacuetical and chemicals giant) sought to make permanent an interim court order against six named individuals and five 'organisations' which effectively turns previously lawful protest activities into a criminal offence. The judge gave his ruling on Friday 13th, upholding all of the conditions previously requested. Defendants have 28 days to make a case against the ruling,until then, the interim court order obtained in December will remain effective. Lawyers outlaw protest where UK governments fail Using the Protection from Harassment Act, the injunction places severe restrictions on the freedom of expression and ability to protest, for anyone that could be shown to be working in concert with the named organisations (which include two websites!). Obviously this has far reaching implications for everyone. The simply act of reporting on events relating to the campaign against Bayer, or walking or parking in some streets in Oxford and Cambridge, could become a criminal offence for anyone that might be shown to have knowledge of the injuntion and be connected in some way to one of the named injunctees (perhaps having visited the StopBayerGM website).

Bayer Targetted in Widnes
On Thursday 11th December half a dozen Lancastrians made their way to a pesticide manufacturing site in Widnes to protest against Bayer's involvement in GM crops. Some of them entered the building, whilst others help up banners, made lots of noise and leafletted the staff car park. Work was disrupted for two and a half hours, as staff locked themselves into their offices and site security barricaded the gates against the protestors. People inside the building eventually got to discuss Bayer's GM involvement with the site manager and demanded that Bayer pull out of GM now.

Since aquiring 
Bayer have withdrawn the only GM crop with (partial) commercial approval. They blame government regulation and caution for holding up the crop which is now technologically and economically obsolete. However it has taken five years to get just one crop this far, which has been the result of the delays caused by the many crop trashings, lobbying, blockades, research and not a little consumer pressure. 
Yesterday Bayer Cropscience in Widnes received a noisy visit by Cheshire Agaisnt Bayer because of their involvement in genetic engineering.

Leeds campaigners have been part of a national Direct Action campaign to kick German lifescience multinational Bayer out of coomercialising Genetically Modified crops in the UK. Bayer, holding 9 out of the 11 applications for GM crops, are 1st in the queue if the UK government gives the green light to commercialise the growing of GM crops. | Page 1 >> | |
