Anti War Movement is organising a bus to go to Belfast to support
these antiwar activists.

The campaign will be bringing witnesses from Lebanon and will be using
their trial to highlight the real criminality- Israeli aggression in
Lebanon and Palestine and the arms manufacturers that benefits from this
aggression.
The trial has been moved to Belfast because the Prosecution Service applied
to have it moved; it argued that the Derry jury pool is likely to know too
much about the campaign against Raytheon, including the non-violent direct
action taken on 9th August 2006 and that any jury from Derry might be too

sympathetic to the action and/or intimidated by the level of support for
the Raytheon 9 because of all the protests held outside the courthouse
over the almost two years since the nine were arrested.
We have to make sure there is a big, vibrant and noisy crowd at the
courthouse on the 19th so join the bus to Belfast!!!
The background: In August 2006 following a public meeting hosted by The
Derry Anti War Coalition, at which Joshua Casteel, former Abu Ghraib
interrogator was speaking, a decision was made by all present, to take
action.
At the same time Israel was attacking Lebanon, killing thousands and
injuring more.
There was a protest at the Raytheon factory in Derry and 9 activists from
the DAWC managed to get in, occupy and close down the factory in Derry.
Raytheon is one of the largest arms manufacturers in the world. It supplies
guidance systems for many of the missiles and bombs used by US and Israeli
forces. In 2006 Raytheon systems guided the Qana bomb to the bunker where
it blasted and crushed at least 51 people to death .
