Friday August 11, 2006 12:42 by Goretti Horgan - DAWC and SWP
As we wait to hear if the nine protestors are to get bail today or to be held until 7th Sept, here is yesterday's press release from the Derry Anti War Coalition in response to the jailing of its members. Derry Anti War Coalition is stepping up its campaign against the war in the Middle East, following the arrest and remand in custody of nine of its members after Wed’s occupation of the Raytheon office in Springtown. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5I live in Derry and I want to say thank you to Eamonn McCann and the other anti war protesters who occupied and decommissioned the Raytheon facility in Derry. I firmly believe the people of Derry were fooled by the arrival of this company in our city. We were told it would ‘only produce software’, but not that all the software produced for “civilian” projects, like air traffic control, can then be used in guided missiles to wreak death and destruction in other parts of the world.
Night after night, the TV pictures of what is happening in Lebanon and Gaza make it a moral imperative for those of us living comfortable lives here in relatively peaceful Ireland to act. It's a disgrace that they are in prison. It's Tony Blair who should be in prison for war crimes
Good statement and a job well done. Solidarity is now needed and the antiwar movement must stand four-square behind these comrades.
20 people held a solidarity picket in Belfast this morning.
All activists should be in full Solidarity with the DAWC members, their actions, and their stand -
In Solidarity

All out tomorrow for the Stop the War Coalition - ICTU Rally in Belfast
Derry Anti War Coalition's statement of support for the Raytheon 9 is now available as an on-line petition.
Derry Anti War Coalition, together with the Irish Anti War Movement and Stop the War Coalition in Britain - both of which it has been affiliated to since 2002 - has published a statement of support for the Raytheon 9 for circulation internationally. The statement is pasted in below. So far, it has been signed by Noam Chomsky, members of Trident Ploughshares and anti-war activists from as far away as Japan and Pakistan. However, some people don't like having to email their support and asked for an on-line petition instead. You can sign it on

We have to have a meeting after the Sheridan meeting to discuss what we do at St Andrews. This is very important. This is a Solidarity thing, not just a Fife thing.
It is also a world stage.
Maybe we should stage a beach landing and a march across the Old Course.
We will fight them on the beaches. And in the bunkers. And on the 18th Green. And the cameras will be there.
The thing is probably going to happen at the OLd Course Hotel which I would say is virtually undefendable from protesters on legs.
Eamon's in Paris along with 3,000 other Derry folk for the Paris St Germain v Derry City Europe match so I'm not getting much sense out of Derry at the moment but by Thursday I will be able to announce it from the floor.
How does that sound?
