Police and secu­ri­ty guards have descend­ed in large num­bers on the Ves­tas protest camp and appear to be attempt­ing to break up the work­ers’ and sup­port­ers’ block­ade. There has so far been one arrest ‑help is urgent­ly need­ed!

We have received reports that large num­bers of police have descend­ed on the campsite/blockade which is being main­tained by Ves­tas work­ers and their sup­port­ers out­side the Ves­tas fac­to­ry in New­port. There have been two arrests so far and the sit­u­a­tion is expect­ed to con­tin­ue to esca­late over the com­ing 24 hours or so.

Any sup­port­ers who can make it down to the Island and offer help of any kind are urgent­ly request­ed to do so — check out savevestas.wordpress.com for details of how to get to the fac­to­ry — or call 07950 539 254 for more info.
