Raytheon 9: How anti-war campaigners took on an arms factory and won
ANTI-ARMS campaigners marked 10 years this week since locals in Derry booted out a multibillion-pound weapons firm from their city in a historic victory for the anti-war movement.
In 2010, the Raytheon factory in Northern Ireland eventually shut its doors following years of campaigning by locals and nine activists’ high-profile occupation in 2006.
The occupation made headlines across Britain as the activists — known as the Raytheon 9 — broke into the factory and hurled computers out the window, causing an estimated £350,000 worth of damage.
