Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) was the most powerful and effective international grassroots animal liberation campaign the world has ever seen. After more than a decade of using innovative and groundbreaking activism against Europe's largest animal testing laboratory HLS, the campaign finally ended in 2014, following years of state repression and the imprisonment of dozens of organisers.

This presentation will be given by one of the SOCPA7 defendants, who’s currently serving a suspended prison sentence for her role in fighting to close HLS. She will use her experiences to analyse and critically reflect on the history, tactics and repression of the SHAC campaign. She’ll look at the importance of SHAC and what can be learned from the successes and failures of the campaign. There will be discussion of the use and effects of repression on the animal liberation movement and how this is affecting our activism today. We will learn about the importance of solidarity and understanding the role of the state when fighting dominant industries and how we can work differently to make today’s social struggles more sustainable and resilient to repression.

The presentation will also include the latest information and aim to raise support for the ongoing SHAC case against Sven and Natasha, who are currently waiting to be extradited to the UK for their trial and face up to 14 years in prison.
