WARMONGERS SURRENDER IN HIGH COURT

FINAL VICTORY FOR PEACE PROTESTERS AGAINST ARMS
COMPANY’S HIGH COURT HARASSMENT CLAIM.

The attempt by arms manufacturers EDO MBM to restrict
protest outside their Brighton factory has ended in
expensive failure. Their attempt to secure a
no-protest exclusion zone with an injunction under the
Protection from Harassment Act has ended in
unconditional surrender after a year-long High Court

EDO Corp announced 2.7 million dollars losses this
year and citing losses from legal actions as a
contributing factor. EDO MBM will pay the protesters
costs, expected to be tens of thousands of pounds.
