PAVING STONE THROWN THROUGH WINDOW AT NOVARTIS (Spain)

reported on Indymedia Barcelona:  http://barcelona.indymedia.org

"The night of the 8th of February we attacked the Novartis Consumer Health building, located in the Marina area (Barcelona), in response to the relationship of this multinational company with animal experimentation.

Even though there was a security guard in the hall, a paving stone was enough to smash the front windows of this scummy business and to send a clear messege to our enemies.

Novartis, there will be no peace for you while you continue this massacre. Let's be clear, we will win this fight.

Dedicated to Mel Broughton**, recently imprisoned comrade in England.

G.A.T."

This action occured the night before the large march against Novartis in Barcelona:  http://www.directaction.info/news_feb11_08.htm

**Mel Broughton:  http://www.directaction.info/prison_mel.htm

Mel Broughton has been remanded in connection with alleged offenses relating to the campaign against the construction of an animal research facility at Oxford University.
