PALESTINE ACTION activists occupied the entrance to Aviva’s Manchester office today in protest at the insurer’s ties to Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems.
Activists climbed on top of the revolving doors of the Observatory building and stuck Palestine flags and a banner reading “Aviva Palestina” on the wall.
Aviva provides mandatory employer liability insurance for UAV Engines, a drone engine factory in Staffordshire owned by Elbit.
