Come and support genetiX campaigners who are facing a prison sentence for breach of a Monsanto Injunction

9.30am Wednesday 28th July 1999
at the Royal Courts of Justice, Strand, London


Four campaigners from the genetiX snowball campaign will be in the High Court on 28th July 1999 to defend a claim by Monsanto for their committal to prison. Monsanto claim they have breached an injunction which restrains members of genetiX snowball from uprooting genetically modified (GM) crops at Monsanto test field sites.

On 16th June 1999, the four campaigners, Martin Shaw, Alex Potts, Jill Bee and Rod Melia of Cereals '99 snowball peacefully uprooted approximately 400 GM sugar beet plants on the opening day of the agricultural show, Cereals '99 held at Vine Farm, Wendy in Hertfordshire. The GM sugar beet was planted last year and formed part of an exhibit on the Monsanto trade stand. Farmers and senior Monsanto representatives looked on as the uprooted plants were put into bags for disposal as a biohazard. The decontaminators remained at the site to explain to the show's attendees the reasons for their actions. Security staff arrived after about twenty minutes and escorted the four off the site, but they were not arrested.

Come and show your support for the Cereals 99 Four outside the High Court on Wednesday 28th July 1999 at 9.30am
