As you will know, the jury at the trial of the Raytheon 9 accepted that Raytheon's Derry plant was linked to the rest of the company's international operations, and therefore contributing to the war crimes being carried out by the Israeli's in Lebanon in Summer 2006. Today, those war crimes are being surpassed by the barbarity we see being perpetrated by the Israelis in the Gaza Strip. Unfortunately, Raytheon remains in Derry, contributing to those war crimes.
Therefore, the Derry Anti War Coalition is calling a mass blockade of Raytheon in Derry for Friday 9th Jan. We intend to let no one into the building to start any work. It will, of course, be non-violent. We are calling on anti-war and anti-arms trade activists from around Ireland to come and join us. An Ulsterbus leaves Busaras in Dublin at 4am which would get people to Derry about 7.15am and Raytheon is just a £3 taxi drive from there (and all the taxi drivers know where it is). If people want to travel the night before we will do our best to put everyone up (bring sleeping bags).
Please send this call out on your networks asap.
Thanks,
Goretti Horgan

Ógra Shinn Féin Newcastle will be hosting a torch light vigil in solidarity with the Palestinian People of Gaza currently enduring sustained brutality from Israel. The vigil will take place at 8.30pm on Friday 9th January, on Main Street in the County Down town. Urging solidarity and attendance at the vigil, Newcastle Ógra Shinn Féin chairperson Fra Cochrane said, "The continual onslaught of the Palestinian people in Gaza is simply unacceptable and has to end now. The current situation is a humanitarian crisis and the Israeli's have continued unabated despite millions pro-actively condemning their massacre around the world.” "Israel needs to immediately pull back its forces from Gaza, end these attacks and enter into meaningful peace talks with the representatives democratically elected by the Palestinian people. We as Irish people must stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Gaza and it is for this reason that I am urging maximum attendance for this vigil.” Bígí Linn! | ||
