Campaigners blockade BAE Systems’ Glascoed site

HUNDREDS of Welsh peace campaigners blockaded BAE Systems’ Glascoed site in Monmouthshire today.

Members of the Cymru Peace Coalition took part in the protest at the facility, which is between Pontypool and the market town of Usk, calling for an end to all arms sales to Israel. 

The Welsh activists took action following a call for a global week of action for Palestine, which started today.
