Mud in your eye

On 11.30am, 12 December, two activists locked onto a concrete block inside Ahava, Covent Garden, while a protest took place outside, completely closing the store till 4.40pm, when police cutting teams arrived and arrested and removed the two.
Ahava is an Israeli company marketing products made from Dead Sea mud and minerals, extracted from a site in the occupied West Bank and processed in an illegal Israeli settlement. This was the third store closure.
