BAe Action

On June 2nd around 15 people occupied a British Aerospace office in Central London for four hours, ‘liberating’ the company’s closely guarded ethical policy from their Manual of Corporate Governance and closing the office all afternoon. Some of the 15 included activists restrained by High Court injunctions from trespassing on BAe property. Unfortunately for them they forgot to list this particular site in the schedule of places covered by the injunction thus enabling the protesters to carry on resisting! 13 people have been injuncted by the courts for protesting against the sale of Hawks to Indonesia, where they've been used to suppress East Timorese resistance to the Indonesian occupation. Help and advice in fighting injunctions particularly welcome. Phone BAe Injunctees Campaign (BIG) on 0161 834 0295.
