RAY BAN

Work was disrupted for the third time in three weeks at Raytheon Systems in Bristol. (See SchNEWS 653 for details of the other actions).

On Wednesday 5th five protesters managed to evade detection by disguising themselves as workmen and as soon as they got to the door, one protester, a former British soldier - chained and D-locked himself to the front doors of their offices in the Bristol Business Park. Police finally arrived around 9am when agitated workers could not get into work, to plan the building of more illegal weapons which are being used in illegal conflicts around the globe including Palestine and Iraq.
