Daring dialogue?

News in Brief

Members of Brighton's SmashEDO campaign (see various PNs) have engaged in a unique open-letter negotiation with the local police, informing them of their planned demonstration against the EDO weapons plant on 10 December, International Human Rights Day. The letter was posted on UK Indymedia and, rather bizarrely, an open dialogue between members of SmashEDO and an officer of Sussex Police appears to have been taking place on the site.

The application for an injunction against SmashEDO has been postponed to allow an abuse of process hearing regarding the conduct of EDO's legal team. This is due to be heard on 23, 24, and 28 December.
