FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Demonstrators to name the dead in Gaza outside EDO/ITT factory

People will gather outside the EDO/ITT factory in Brighton this
Wednesday at 4pm to read out some of the names of the 1300 who have
been killed in Gaza.

People of Brighton and Hove have been outraged and saddened to watch
what has been happening in Gaza. They have expressed their feelings in
daily vigils at the clock tower, and large demonstrations of hundreds
at weekends in the town centre. Now they will turn their attention to
a factory in their own city which has profited from this war.

The EDO/ITT factory on Home Farm Road manufacture the Ejector
Release Unit (ERU 151) and the Zero Retention Force Arming Unit which
are both incorporated within bomb racks used by Israeli Airforce F16
warplanes which have ravaged the Gaza strip in recent weeks.

On Friday Brighton and Hove City Council refused to allow the tabling
of a motion by a number of councilors that would have condemned the
presence of EDO/ITT in Brighton and its supply of components to Israel
currently being used in Gaza. The grounds for the refusal were that
the motion was 'not relevant to the wellbeing of the city of Brighton
and Hove'. Some residents of Brighton and Hove believe otherwise and
feel personally affected by the presence of this factory on their
doorstep.

Deborah Jones, who lives near the EDO/ITT factory in Mouslecoomb
said "I'll be going on Wednesday with a candle to light in memory of
all the innocent children killed in Gaza. I hope those working in the
factory can find it in their conscience to give up this work and do
something to bring about peace."
