Death Control?
Four Spanish war-resisters may face up to two years in prison after being judged by a military court (consejo de guerra). Their crime? - putting giant condoms on cannons! Of course, in order to do this, they had to get into the military installations, and in the process violated military safety rules under which they are being charged despite being civilians. The action was part of a larger campaign which aims to take civil disobedience and non-collaboration with all aspects of the war machine into the military institutions. It is a new strategy developed by the Spanish and Basque war resisters and the Army is fighting back with their own laws. International solidarity with the war resisters may be needed as the case progresses.
