BEPJ






Bro Emlyn - for Peace and Justice.

In terms of visuals, it's cheap and nasty, but I love what it stands for!

This is BEPJ's visual response to the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles 'a group who campaign on peace and justice issues in the Newcastle Emlyn area of West Wales, are calling for action against drone testing at ParcAberporth. Amongst BEPJ's concerns are:

  • 50,000 people live under the new 650 sq mile UAV testing zone. Two drones have crashed in the first months of flying out of Parc Aberporth so there are great concerns about safety.
  • Operators will have to abide by a "code of practice" on privacy, but the MOD will be the main user and they are unlikely to be accountable in the same way.
  • Military drones attacks are calculated to kill 50 civilians for every combatant killed
  • The expected hundreds of jobs have not materialised. Only 18 people are currently employed at Parc Aberporth.'
