Pledge of Resistance

While Chris Cole was spending his final few moments inside Pentonville prison, London, friends and supporters outside were signing up to go in: one hour before Chris' release, the "Pledge of Resistance" was launched.

People signed a statement "pledging to the people of East Timor to undertake civil disobedience against the [British Aerospace] Hawks deal in 1995". Copies of the pledge are available from Stop the Hawk Deal, 6 Mount St, Manchester 2 (0161 834 0295).

There will be opportunities for such civil disobedience during a week-long peace camp at BAe Warton, 28 August to 2 September, and a further act of mass civil disobedience in Central London on 2 October. Pledge of Resistance, c/o ARROW, CND, 162 Holloway Rd, London N7.
