G4S pulls out of Israel

[Bad Dog]

I got this email from the PSC today. It's nice to get a bit of good news.

We won!


Dear friend,

Great news! G4S have finally announced they'll be selling their subsidiary "G4S Israel" - their stake in the Israeli occupation.

Together with our partners and friends across the world, we've stood up to this mighty conglomerate and won! G4S are a massive company with huge profits. But by standing together and never giving up, even after years of campaigning - we've shown them that propping up occupation and profiting from apartheid is not an acceptable business model.

Thank you!

Now we've just got to get them to stop running UK prisons.

1. That's a start - now how about their pulling out of the UK?!

2. Exactly.

Privatisation of prisons and security has been disastrous. Standards have gone right down.
