Campaign Against The Arms Trade

Protesters from the Campaign against Arms Trade staged an invasion of the Government Arms Fayre, in Aldershot on Sunday September 3rd. The invasion followed a march of over 100 people through the town centre and a ceremony of remembrance with speakers from Indonesia and Kurdistan. The invasion was to draw attention to the effects of the arms trade and to the high levels of secrecy surrounding the arms fayre. 26 protesters were arrested, for aggravated trespass - 2 protesters actually managed to enter the arms fayre! Most people were released without charge.

CAAT has many more anti arms trade protests planned. For further info contact: CAAT, 11 Goodwin St, London, N4 3HQ. Tel: 0171 281 0297.
