News On Elijah:
10 months ago yesterday, on 18 January 2009, Elijah (James) Smith and 5 other anti-militarists from Bristol were arrested in Brighton. They had spent the previous night decommissioning the EDO/MBM/ITT factory in Brighton, in an attempt to stop it providing parts for weapons being used by the Israeli army to bomb civilians in Gaza. Nobody was injured or harassed during their action, which was one of property damage/sabotage. They did not resist arrest.
Exactly 10 months on and Elijah Smith is still on remand. Yes thats right – 10 months in prison without trial. And it looks as if he is likely to remain in prison until the trial actually starts, probably on 17 May 2010, by which time he’ll have spent 16 months on remand.

A great action, both symbolic and practical, endangering nobody's life.
Do we know how to contact him with letters of support, etc?
Also, how much solidarity work is going on for him, among especially the Smask EDO group? It should be happening, could be a good issue for the militant anti-authoritarian to unite around, and gather support - not many people, surely, can support the injustice against Elijah, and many I feel would support his original action with some understanding of the context.
Solidarity!
