DfID Occupied

Twelve members of the anti-war group Justice Not Vengeance occupied the Department for International Development (DfID) for 3 hours on November 2nd to demand an immediate end to the bombing of Afghanistan and a massive aid effort to avert looming famine. The group displayed a banner reading ‘A matter of conscience. FOOD NOT BOMBS. A matter of survival’ and refused to leave. The group had planned to leave after two hours, but DFID officials offered them an ‘on the record’ meeting with Sir John Vereker, DFID Permanent Secretary, so they stayed a little longer.
