Siemens Office Occupied

Activists from Manchester EF! recently occupied the regional head office of Siemens, a German multinational who are building unsafe nuclear power stations across Eastern Europe, including the well-known Mochocve plant in Slovakia. 12 people took part in the action, which was partly a memorial action for Ray Leach, a peace and environmental activist who died recently. The aim was to get Siemens to comment on the contradiction between their environmental policy and building nuclear power stations, and it was successful in this respect since Alistair McDonald, the communications manager will be meeting the group in November.
