CodePink Protest Products Made in Occupied Territories

On Saturday, at noon, on Sept. 19, 2009, activists from CodePink, a women-initiated Peace and Justice Movement, staged a protest action inside of and also in front of an upscale shop located in Union Station, in Washington, DC. The store, according to CodePink, carries products of Ahava, "Ahava Dead Sea Laboratories," an Israeli company. CodePink charged in its press release, that it is time "to expose the dirty truth" about Ahavas products, which are made in the "Occupied West Bank," and which also "exploit occupied natural resources" in their production. The Amtrak police were eventually called to the scene and the protesters were told to exit the property.
