Alcoa are being targeted because of their involvement in the Karahnjukar dam projects. The campaign is growing and intensifying as the Icelandic government and Alcoa’s plans for devastation of the Icelandic landscape expand. Tomorrow Alcoa will announce whether they intend to build another smelter in the North of Iceland, a decision we feel should be made by the people of Iceland rather than a foreign corporation.
Interview with one of the protesters, footage and more still photographs from the protest is available. Please contact: Email deleted[Ed.]
Does anyone know what happened to those seven persons that locked themselves together with armtubes? were they arrested?

Update:
No one got arrested, the police only made an unsuccesful attempt to take people’s details as they walked off.
Workers were particularily happy with our protest and one of them was quoted to have said “Good luck, burn them down!”
Greetings from Oblog
Hi there, I would just like to say that we’re posting an article about the Alcoa project in a local magazine in Malmö, Sweden. As editor for the newspaper I don’t take stand for or against the dam in itself. Mainly because I’m too far away to realy understand what’s happening. As a person on the other hand I always take a stand for people who fight for what they beleave is right, especially when they’re up against a huge multinational company in alliance with the government. If it weren’t for you guys democracy wouldn’t be worth a crap. Keep up the good work.
Best wishes
