Smash EDO | 02.10.2009 21:11 | Anti-militarism | Palestine | South Coast

THE DECOMMISSIONER'S COURT CASE HAS BEEN DELAYED: It will now start on the 17th of May 2010. Although this is good in some ways it is extra important that support for Elijah Smith, who is still on remand in prison, continues. He has recently been moved back to Bristol again. Please take a minute to write to him (note that his prisoner number has changed slightly)

Elijah Smith XP7551, HMP Bristol, 19 Cambridge Road, Horfield, BS7 8PS

Here's what's going on:

The week of events in support for the decommissioners will still go ahead as planned between the 17 and the 24th of October. Plans so far include:

WEDNESDAY 28th OCTOBER sees the return of the traditional HALLOWEEN NOISE DEMO outside EDO between 4 and 6. Come along in your spookiest outfit and most zombielike mask.!

As mentioned above the TARGET BRIMAR CAMPAIGN will launch with a demo on the 17th of October. Please do everything you can to support this new campaign as we need many more like them!

Brimar are a company which manufactures components crucial to the functioning of, amongst other things, the Apache helicopters used by the Israeli army in the West Bank and Gaza and tanks used by the American Marines in Iraq. Brimar’s specialised viewing equipment allows weapons systems to be aimed from warplanes, helicopters, tanks and armoured vehicles. Brimar’s main facility is just outside Manchester. For more information on plans for the demonstration and about Brimar’s work for occupying armies in the Middle East, or to get more involved, please keep an eye on  http://targetbrimar.org.uk/


And don't forget that noise demos continue every Wednesday 4 til 6 outside EDO!
