Anti-GM protesters visit HC Starck's offices in Sheffiled as part of the 'bail out of GM' week of action.
Last night a number of masked bandits visited the offices of HC Starck (a wholly owned subsidiary of Bayer PLC) in Sheffield. Widows were bricked and anti-gm slogans were sprayed on a wall by the entrance. This action was part of the 'bail out of gm' week of action set to co-incide with the bail dates of a number of activists arrested recently in Cambridge.
The week of action is part of an ongoing campaign of direct action against biotechnology which is currently focussing its attentions on Bayer PLC, owner of three (after recently abandoning six) of the seeds proposed for commercialisation this spring.

2) tactics like that are pointless re gm - pulling up crops yes, smashing windows no
3) the only use for tactics like that is to discredit the anti-gm campaign - which i consider myself to be part of - and to invite repression - ooh look, just like this court injunction - and no doubt a backlash at some point hence
well done NOT.
ps i hope u used a cyber cafe or masked you ip when u posted this, wouldn't want a knock at the door would we.

Also since such actions are done covertly it's very hard to use any repression against them at all - only if you get caught.
