A GLASGOW arms factory was evacuated today after Palestine solidarity activists stormed the site and occupied the roof. 

The six activists, who are members of the just-launched Palestine Action Scotland group, an offshoot of Palestine Action, clambered onto the roof of French arms firm Thales’s factory in Gove, Glasgow, in the early hours of Wednesday morning. 

The group said that activists also entered the building on Linthouse Road and “destroyed factory equipment and facilities.”
