http://www.undercurrents.org/fracking.html Activists blocked the entrance to Preston New road fracking site in support of an Italian community resisting a gas pipeline in Southern Italy and to resist gas expansion everywhere. Following solidarity speeches and photo from the roadside about the Italian struggle, a 2-minute die-in in front of the Cuadrilla gate allowed 4 activists with ‘arm-tubes’ in rucksucks to ‘lock-on’ and secure the blockade, halting work into the site. The action was completed without incident before Police had time to react. A banner saying ‘No Dirty Gas’ in Italian and English has been unfurled across the entrance.
