Black Mountain Rescue in Belfast

Saturday October 21st, 35 activists from "Black Mountain Rescue" turned up at the premises of White Mountain quarries protesting at the destruction of the Black Mountain. On their way to the quarry 'Mr Exploitation' threw dust pollution (white flour) as a warning of what the quarry would bring.

Then marching into the city centre, rocks from the quarry were presented to the DOE. At the first DOE office, the door was pelted with polystyrene rocks. At the second DOE office real rocks were piled up outside. The RUC, unable to cope with an "autonomous collective" escorted the demo through the city centre, disrupting shoppers: 1 - 5 Donegall Lane, Belfast BT1 2LZ.
