Stop Arms Investments!

Students occupied the roof of Liverpool University for an hour in protest against the university's direct investment in GEC and GNR arms companies. Attempts to occupy a meeting taking place inside the university to discuss ' university business' where thwarted by security and police who prevented the demonstrators from entering. The students have demanded that the Liverpool's University investment in the arms trade should be withdrawn and placed on the agenda for discussion.
