Palestinian Solidarity Campaign applauds BBC decision to award security contract to G4S rival ‘Palestine Solidarity Campaign has today welcomed the BBC’s decision not to award their security contract, worth £80 million, to G4S [1]. PSC has campaigned since July 2013 [2], urging the BBC to reject any bid by G4S, the firm which provides security services to Israeli prisons. PSC’s campaign resulted in more than two thousand viewers and listeners urging the BBC not to award G4S with a contract because of its involvement in human rights abuses in Israel’s prisons[3]. PSC’s tweets urging the BBC to break its links with G4S were shared more than six hundred times. It has now been announced that the lucrative contract three year contract has gone to FirstSecurity, with an option to extend for two years. This is the first time the BBC has chosen one national security provider.’ palestinecampaign.org/bbccontract/
