SAAB Microwave Becoming2 Ploughshares Action in Sweden

category international | anti-war / imperialism | press release author Sunday June 29, 2008 15:37author by Ploughshares Report this post to the editors

On Thursday, June 26, 2008, two Ploughshares activists were arrested inside SAAB Microwave in Sweden. Using blacksmith hammers, Ulla Roder and Per Herngren started to disarm military radar at SAAB Microwave's test range at Mölndal and planted fig trees in the area around the factory.

" The word of the prophet Micah makes us move", explained Ulla Røder. "We beat SWORDS INTO PLOUGHSHARES.

"We do have the ability of direct intervention", Ulla Røder believes. "It becomes a duty when there is violence and suffering in the world. We use non-violence. I do believe that we are not practicing civil disobedience, but upholding International law. It is SAAB Microwave who breaks the law when delivering the missile firing system used during the war in Iraq.

It is always a great gift when an act of nonviolent disarmament goes down, especially in a time of escalating war and massive profiteering form those who deal in death. It reassures us that the simple human work of claiming a future can go on. It is also challenging when one knows the people who have risked their liberty in a spirit of anti-war reistance. Both Per and Ulla have visited Ireland. Per attended the trials of the Pitstop Ploughshares ww.peaceontrial.com in Dublin. Ulla lived in Scotland for a number of years.
