Activists opposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza broke into a factory in Tring, Hertfordshire, on Monday morning, before smashing equipment there with hammers.

Three members of the group People Against Genocide (PAG) were arrested after the break-in at the facility, which is owned by military technology firm Ultra Intelligence & Communications (I&C).

    Huge respect to everyone making such big sacrifices to stand up for what’s right at the moment.

    UK government should be ashamed.

    Suggestion for other activists: if you insist on taking pictures, at least make sure your fellow activists aren’t in them

      This is almost definitely intentional. You don’t want to portray yourself as a criminal which you would do by hiding and running away after. They are likely relying on solidarity from a jury to get acquitted.

    These activists are the only people upholding the Genocide convention which requires states to take all measures to stop the commission of even a plausible genocide

    “Chief among the other foreign actors actively assisting the genocide is, of course, Britain’s unruly offspring, the US, where Ultra I&C is headquartered.”

    Respect.

    May not relatively be that big of a damage, but at least they are setting an example. Examples, actually; one for protesting and the other to do the 2 sets of clothes thing.
