EmailActivists are launching a clear-up operation tomorrow after the firebombing of an anarchist bookstore in east London.
The Freedom Bookshop was torched by an unknown assailant early today morning, partially gutting the ground floor. No-one was inside at the time and there were no injuries.
Co-ordinator Andy Meinke said they could not afford insurance and the full extent of the damage was not clear.
- Volunteers will begin the clean-up at 1pm at the 84b Whitechapel High Street shop.
