<p>maqui: added update sunday 3rd.</p>truetrue
<p>The blockaders have urged companies dependent on Carmel Agrexco's supplies, and therefore inconvenienced by this and previous blockades, to seek out new suppliers and, in so doing, show that Carmel Agrexco's continued support for Israel's aggression in Palestine will not be allowed to continue.</p>
<p><strong>Update Saturday 7th:</strong></p>
<p>The blockade was effective from 5.30am on Friday to 9.30am on Saturday and trucks were turned away from the depot [<a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/11/441358.html?c=on#c236719">Photos</a>]<br /><br />At 9.30am one of the lock-ons was moved out of the way by police and the gate was opened so people unlocked around 10.30am. There were three arrests, two for obstruction of the highway and one for breach of the peace. They have all been taken to West Drayton Police Station ... <br /><br />Don't forget the public demo tomorrow from 12 noon</p>
<p><strong>Update Sunday 8th:</strong></p>
<p>The blockade continued for a 3rd consecutive day, as 20 protestors joined in the blockade. See <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/11/441452.html">photos</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhzt_hBpH9E">video</a>, and read <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/11/441458.html">report</a>.</p>
2009-11-06T10:17:15+00:002955featuredAbu Assadfalse<p>On Friday, 6th November, pro-Palestinian activists carried out a blockade at Carmel Agrexco's depot in Hayes, Middlesex. The activists locked themselves to oil drums filled with concrete and positioned themselves to block the two access roads to the depot.<br /><br />At about 6 o'clock this morning a group of London students and international activists, including members of the <a href="http://palsolidarity.org/">International Solidarity Movement</a> (ISM), blocked the two gates leading to the depot. The activists seek to raise awareness of the UK's continued role in the purchase of goods produced in Israel's illegal settlements in the West Bank as well as Carmel Agrexco's role in the sustenance of Israel's illegal expansionist activities in Palestine.</p>Carmel Agrexco blockaded again2009-11-09T17:46:44+00:00
