London is a global hub of the international arms trade. In September of this year the city will be the host to the world’s largest arms fair – DSEI. To provide an insight into some of the multinational companies presenting at this fair London Campaign Against Arms Trade is organising a walking tour of the cities’ arms companies.
We will be visiting some of the world’s largest and most destructive arms companies, highlighting their evil deeds, devastating impact on innocent civilians globally, exposing their corruption and close ties with governments and showing how some of these companies are complicit in the war in Yemen and resultant humanitarian crisis.
This will give be a fascinating way to learn about some of the companies that will be exhibiting at DSEI and hopefully inspire you to take action against them and/or get involved in the resistance to DSEI and the arms trade. It’s also a great way to meet other activists and get an insight into what’s happening behind some of the polished fancy offices in Westminster and London.
The tour will take 2 hours in total, we’ll be meeting outside the Victoria Palace Theatre at 14.00 on 6th July. Please sign up for your free place here and you can also see details on the Facebook event.
