'Stop the Olympic Missiles' Campaign
- www.stoptheolympicmissiles.org
The 'Stop the Olympic Missiles' campaign was launched in East
London at a public meeting on 4 May 2012.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) plans to situate high velocity
missiles on housing estates and in communities in East London.
The Rapier and Starstreak missiles that the MoD are planning to
deploy have a range of 3-4 miles. If they were to be used they
would therefore be aimed at targets over some of the most densely
populated areas in London, causing large numbers of casualties.
Residents have serious concerns about such a disaster, the
possibility of accidents, and the fact that the deployment of
missiles is accompanied by the presence of armed soldiers and
dangerous equipment in our communities. Everyone wants the Olympics
to be safe, but such measures are in danger of turning the Olympics
into a festival of the global security industry.
