Around thirty protesters succeeded in blockading the entrance to the Runcorn Alcoa factory near Manchester late Febuary. People locked onto each other with armtubes and for nearly three hours all traffic to and from the factory was halted. Alcoa were targeted because of their involvement in the Karahnjukar dam projects in Iceland.
The campaign is growing and intensifying as the Icelandic government and Alcoa's plans for devastation of the Icelandic landscape expand.
