UK jury: Activists' destruction of weapons factory justified

| July 24, 2010

Show Notes:

After Israel launched its deadly attack on Gaza in December 2008, anti-war activists broke into a British arms factory, smashed up equipment worth $300,000, and waited for the police to arrest them.  The factory was known to produce bomb release mechanisms for the Israeli military.  The activists were brought to trial, and in late June of this year a British jury acquitted them.  We spoke with Chris Osmond, who helped with the action, to find out more.
