Carmel-Agrexco shut down as part of ‘Boycott Israeli Goods’ week of action
Indymedia UK - 27 Sep 2008
Human rights activists shut down the Carmel-Agrexco depot in Hayes, Middlesex, for 12 hours on 28 September, 2008, as part of a week of action called by the Boycott Israeli Goods campaign. Both gates to the depot were blocked, with four protesters locking themselves inside a cage blocking one gate, while another was D-locked to the other. At least 14 trucks were prevented from entering the premises during the day. One protester was arrested for ‘obstruction of the highway’. The day before, at about 3:30am, activists with tipper trucks had dumped builders rubble across both gates of the depot. Protests against the sale of Israeli produce from occupied Palestinian land also took place outside supermarkets around the country, which account for 60% of Carmel-Agrexco’s total exports.Previous Actions: Carmel Agrexco’s Depot Shut Down in Commemoration of the Nakba | Fortress Carmel Agrexco breached by Peace Activists | Video – Carmel Agrexco protest during Camp for Climate Action | Weekend of Action Against Carmel Agrexco | Activists Blockade Carmel-Agrexco’s UK Headquarters for the Third Time | International Actions against Israeli ApartheidFurther reading: Text of letter to Carmel-Agrexco | Report on Carmel’s involvement in the Jordan Valley | War on Want’s report: Profiting from the OccupationLinks: Palestine Solidarity Campaign | The Big Campaign

The Library House
Indymedia UK - 27 Sep 2008
Very near Myatts Fields and not far Laughborough Junction station, the Library House stands right behind Minet Library (and it looks like it used to be part of the library services but left empty?).It is run by a group of local south londoners that are currently fixing it up and already dreaming and preparing events. It aims to be an open house for the local community, and right now lots of work is going on, specially to sort out the electricity.Report on the occupation Opening Announcement
