Cambridge County Council Arms Investments

Jim | 01.12.2005 13:26 | Anti-militarism | Cambridge

Did you know that Cambridge County Council invest millions of pounds in the arms trade through their pension fund?

Did you know that the County Council pension fund invests millions of pounds in the arms trade?

Millions of pounds of our money is being invested in an industry that:

- supported the occupation of East Timor by Indonesia
- arms Israel which repeatedly breaks international law through their suppression of the Palestinian people
- supplied the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq
- produces cluster bombs, white phosphorus and depleted uranium weapons

Help us pressure the council
to adopt an ethical investment policy and stop funding the arms trade

Join our protest at the next County Council Meeting on

Tuesday 13th December.
Meet outside county council offices on Castle Hill
at 9.30 am and at 10 am we will be addressing the councillors directly.

There are no excuses for supporting the arms trade.

Flier attached
