The Raytheon 9 trial was postponed and due to the uncertainty around when it would start the protest at the courthouse will take place on Tuesday 27th and we hope to get a big lively crowd there.

However it was confirmed today that the trial will in fact start tomorrow May 20th.

The IAWM will be sending a contingent to Belfast tomorrow and we encourage anyone who is free tomorrow to get up there and show solidarity with the 9 antiwar activists on trial and show the court that they have mass public opinion on their side when it comes to opposing war and the arms manufacturers such as Raytheon who make profits from this war
