In UK, bigcampaign.org is organizing a mass demonstration against Carmel-Agrexco on February 10th. They are asking the British public not to buy blood stained flowers for their loved ones this year (Press Release - PDF). Carmel Agrexco is the largest importer of illegal settlement goods into the UK. The Valentine’s day period is one of their busiest as the company deals with large amounts of fresh flowers from Israel and the settlements. In the UK Agrexco is known under the Carmel, Coral and Jaffa brands.
This is the flyer of the campaign:
The valentine’s day picket aims to expose this company’s complicity in murder, theft and damage of occupied land, collective punishment, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and other breaches of International Law to public scrutiny.
