Over 100 activists from around Ireland today marched on the Raytheon facility in Derry at which the guidence software for the US Tomahawk Cruise missliles currently being used against Afganistan is developed. The protest, co-ordinated by the Foyne Ethical Investment Campaign, was intended to draw attention to the work being carried out at this facility. later the protestors marched through Derry city centre to the office of Derry City Council and to the office of John Hume, Noble Peace Prize winner.
The anti-war protests were part of a 2-bus protest 'tour' culminating at the Trident Nuclear Submarine base in Faslane, Scotland where the Irish activists will join over 1,000 protestors from all over Britian in an attempt to close the base for a day.
