G4S ditches Israel businesses

‘Following years of boycott pressure, the private security firm G4S announced Friday that it is ending most of its business with Israel.
“Our globally coordinated campaign has had a real impact,” said Rafeef Ziadah of the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee (BNC) in a statement. “We will continue campaigning until G4S ends all involvement in violations of Palestinian human rights,” Ziadah added.

It also helps run prisons where Palestinians are tortured, abused and detained without charge.’
