Pro-Palestine campaigners target Wood Group AGM

DOZENS of activists picketed Aberdeen-based energy barons Wood Group’s AGM yesterday demanding that the firm pull the plug on its tacit support of Israeli apartheid.

Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign supporters lobbied shareholders over a contract to build a power station in Ashkelon, Israel, which many fear will be used to supply electricity to illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

The Wood Group has denied owning, operating or using energy created at the power plant.
