> SUNLIGHT PULL OUT FROM HLS
> In response to the massive outpouring of anger over the discovery that
Sunlight was still supplying laundry services to Huntingdon Life Sciences,
the company has decided to pull it's services. Let this be a lesson to any
company who try to pull a fast one on the animal rights movement. We will
not be bluffed, and all such attempts only cause us to redouble our efforts.
Our intelligence is too good; we have supporters everywhere and we will
always discover when we are being lied to.
>
> So a big thank you to everyone who took part. A solid message has been
sent out, and HLS are now scrabbling around for other companies foolish
enough to wash their blood stained clothing. Maybe the workers having to don
unwashed, bloodstained whitecoats will make them wake up to just what a foul
business they are working in.
>
> LEGAL UPDATE
> Many of you who participated in the Japanese customers action alert will
have received a vaguely threatening email from one Helen McNamee of F2
Chemicals, alleging you had done something criminal by sending in a polite
email asking them not to use HLS.
>
> Ms McNamee's employer is part of a group of companies trying to suppress
the right to protest by abusing the Harassment Act (set up to stop stalking)
against campaigners. This is currently being vigorously fought in the
courts.
>
> Her response to you was a crude attempt to stifle people and put us off
campaigning. We have consulted with our own lawyers and they had the
following points as to why Ms McNamee claims were out of order:
> 1) In order for you to have done something illegal by email the Japanese
customers, you would have to be aware of the terms of the injunction.
Emailing you with a reference number is simply not enough, and you have to
be served in person. THUS IT WAS INCORRECT OF HER TO SAY THAT YOU HAD
BREACHED THE INJUNCTION AND YOU HAVE NOT COMMITTED ANY OFFENCE IF YOU HAVE
NOT BEEN PERSONALLY SERVED WITH A COPY OF IT.
> 2) The injunction prohibits "direct abusive or threatening" emails to
workers and directors of the company. This does not include emails to the
company as a whole, and it does not prohibit polite emails to the workers.
Ms McNamee, in her response, has over stated the situation in an attempt to
scare you. If you sent her a polite email then you have not breached the
injunction.
> 3) The police are not going to come knocking on your door because you send
a polite email to Ms McNamee or any other email mentioned in the action
alert.
> 4) The injunction only applies to people acting in the UK, and named in
the actual injunction. For the vast majority of you, this is not applicable
to you, especially if you are emailing from outside of the UK.
>
> This is a pathetic attempted to suppress our right to protest. It only
makes us angrier - Sunlight has pulled, so below are the Japanese customer
email addresses again. Email them again, and let them know you are not going
to be intimidated by their empty threats. We have something more important
to fight for, the lives of animals being tortured with chemicals produced by
the likes of F2 Chemicals and their colleagues.
>
> Plus, there is no reason why you cannot use obscure webmail accounts
(avoid Hotmail and Yahoo as they are filtered out), from libraries and
Internet cafes. We will be heard.
