THALES ARMS FACTORY IN CRAWLEY BLOCKADED OVER ISRAEL DRONE CONTRACT 8th April 2016, www.inminds.com On the the evening of Thursday 7th April 2016 activists from Inminds human rights group blockaded one of the entrances of Thales UK arms factory in Crawley, West Sussex, for nearly two hours in protest at the company’s collaboration with Israeli arms giant Elbit Systems in the manufacture of drones. An industrial gases supply tanker and other vehicles were forced to use other entrances to enter and leave the factory compound. The protest was part of a larger protest starting on Friday 8th April by Sussex Stop Arming Israel Campaign in response to a Palestinian lead call for a comprehensive two-way arms embargo against Israel. Inminds chair Abbas Ali said "At a time when BDS (Boycott Divestment & Sanctions of Israel) is under attack its doubly important for activists to bring to book those guilty companies that trade in death and suffering of Palestinians. Thales UK has a billion pound contract with Israel's largest arms company Elbit Systems to develop a fleet of drones for the UK military based on Elbit's Hermes 450 killer drone which Human Rights Watch has documented as being used by Israel to deliberately target Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Its sickening that Elbit markets this killer drone as being extensively 'field tested' in 'real life' situations - using the slaughter of Gaza's people as a marketing ploy to gain a competitive advantage! We don't want these blooded drones on our doorstep in Crawley!
