Nasties During Israel's attacks on Gaza and the Lebanon, Sussex
Action for Peace held its second march on August 19th, protesting about the
West's lack of response to war crimes in the Middle East. Before the march began
it soon became apparent that Sussex Police were having none of it. Apart from
the obvious Police overkill and crappy excuses for changing the route of the march,
the number of police FIT teams that were deployed was way beyond the norm –
even filming kids in buggies! Smash

top Injunction
In April 2005 EDO MBM applied for a civil injunction restricting protest outside
EDO MBM. Campaigners fought against the injuunction in the High Court and, in
2006, EDO's case collapsed resulting in the lifting of the injunction. Here are
some of the original papers from the case.
Interim injunction judgement - On 29th April 2005 Judge Gross granted an interim
injunction. Here's the text of his judgement. Preliminary
Issues Trial judgement - In November 2005 Judge Walker ruled on the part of
the defendants defence which related to a defense of 'prevention of crime'. The
issues considered relate to whether there was nexus between the defendants actions
and the prevention of war crimes in Iraq and Palestine. David Perry attended as
a party in the case on behalf of the Attorney General. EDO MBM denied they sold
weapons to Israel. Final
Judgement - Judge Walker's final order ruling that EDO and their lawyers
had abused the process of the court and acted improperly in the case. This judgement
lead to the collapse of the injunction and an order for EDO to pay indemnity costs
to the defendants (over £35 000 went to individual litigants in person).
