On Tuesday after a break of more than a year Shell attempted to resume work on the refinery near Rossport. Last year they jailed five local men for months for resisting this project and in particular the laying of the pipe carrying unprocessed gas at high pressure just 70m from houses in Rossport.
In this 5 minute MP3 a member of the WSM who has moved to the protest camp at Rossport talks a little about the background, the numbers involved and what has been happening. Mp3 file is on radio.indymedia at http://radio.indymedia.org/uploads/shellrossport.mp3
