Palestine Action activists target UAV Engines for third time this week

PALESTINE ACTION activists targeted a drone manufacturer today for the third time this week.

Activists visited UAV Engines in Staffordshire, a subsidiary of Israel’s largest arms manufacturer Elbit Systems, climbing the building next door and launching bricks through the roof of the factory.

They then sprayed red paint inside the building and damaged contents within.

It comes after Palestine Action shut down the plant on Monday, locking-on inside vehicles, and blockading the gates to the Shenstone plant, closing production down on Wednesday. 

A Palestine Action spokesperson said: “Our level of activity this week should be seen as a clear rejection of the attempts to intimidate us, and show that we will not be cowed. 

“It is the state’s thugs who are the real terrorists, along with those involved in producing the weapons used by Israel to bomb hospitals, schools, mosques, and now even tents. 

“The British government itself is a participant in the genocide, and one day it will be them, and their Israeli paymasters, who will be facing trial, and imprisonment, for their crimes against humanity.”
