Activists disrupt entry of Israeli weapons to London arms fair
‘Protesters attempted to stop Israeli weapons entering a massive arms fair in London on Monday.
Activists are this week protesting the event as it sets up shop. The conference showcases the arms industries of countries all over the world, including notorious human rights abusers like Saudi Arabia and Israel.
The Defence and Security Equipment International exhibition, or DSEI – which advertises itself as “the world leading” arms industry fair – opens for business next week.
Amnesty International and London Mayor Sadiq Khan have both called for the event to be scrapped.
On Monday, activists carrying Palestinian flags and banners delayed the entry of trucks into the ExCel Centre, where the event is held.’
