Aggro Grief Mayhem

- a round-up of shareholder actions

BAE Systems

About 50 CAAT (Campaign Against The Arms Trade) activists protested inside & outside the QE2 Conference centre in Central London against BAE Systems Annual General Meeting. A group of 10 activists blockaded the entrance and when the private security guards couldn't move them or shut them up, they had to open an alternative entrance. The activists were not chucked out & so were able to get into the main hall. They managed to bring the meeting to a standstill by tying themselves together & chanting “British Aerospace Deals in Death” very loudly until they were forcibly ejected by the heavy handed security guards.

Premier Oil

On the 16th May a group of 15 activists from the Burma Campaign and the Free Burma Coalition attended the meeting of Premier Oil as shareholders. 70% of the meeting was taken up with targeted questions about why Premier Oil is in Burma and, by association, complicit with human rights abuses and slavery on an horrific and massive scale.

Serious ongoing pressure is needed as an intervention to target Premier Oil - a sick union of greed, pollution and ‘plausible’ propaganda.
