Background Information
In 2006 Derry Anti-war activists occupied the Raytheon Arms Manufacturing company as a protest against its supplying parts to the Israeli Defence Forces. At the time, the Israelis were involved in a full-scale bombing of Lebanon which flattened the country and killed over one and half thousand people. The protestors were brought to trial by the company.
Against all the odds, the court actually admitted that the Raytheon company was aiding and abbetting war crimes. The protesters were acquitted and in January this year, the company decided to pull out of Derry, showing just how effective targetted protests can be. A further nine women involved in protesting against the company during the assault by Israel on Gaza, have been charged and are up on trial in early May. The huge campaign of support for the first Ratheon protesters ensured they were vindicated. We must do the same for the nine Women against Raytheon.
