Palestine Action Are At Elbit In Bristol Again

September 23, 2024 Steve Topple, The Canary. , , , , , , ,
Palestine Action has been at it again in Bristol – this time, using a van to disrupt the factory of Elbit Systems in Filton. It shows for the umpteenth time that direct action does work – as the group halted production, therefore stopped arms going to Israel to be used in its genocide in Gaza, and terrorism in Lebanon. It also shows that activists are unafraid of the consequences of their direct action – as ten people who targeted the site previously are now in prison. On Monday 23 September, activists from Palestine Action used a van to block the only entrance into Elbit Systems research, development, and manufacturing hub in Filton, Bristol.

Bristol Bus Protesters Take To The Trees

February 3, 2015 Steven Morris, www.theguardian.com , ,
Environmental campaigners have taken to treetops in Bristol to try to halt work on a new bus scheme that they argue will wreck some of the city’s most precious food-growing land. The protest against a development that the activists say will ruin allotments and damage an award-winning community food-growing project is embarrassing for the city as it has just launched 12 months of events and initiatives as European green capital 2015. Around a dozen protesters have set up camp in trees that border the Stapleton allotments and the Feed Bristol site after hearing that they were about to be cut down as part of the MetroBus development. Signs were put up on some of the trees claiming nails had been hammered into them – a tactic designed to make cutting them down with chainsaw dangerous.
