Quakers join anti-arms trade protests
Government department targeted in protest
Quakers join a protest outside UK Trade and Investment, the government office responsible for promoting arms exports. Last week, minister Peter Luff said that the government had no ‘embarrassment’ about supporting arms dealers, as campaigners joined actions across the UK to mark Stop the Arms Trade Week.
Six members of London Campaign Against Arms Trade descended on the UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) department dressed as construction workers to highlight the unsafe nature of the work taking place inside.
