UPDATE 10/09/01: The DSEi protests have now finally been covered by the Guardian, the Independent, Reuters and others.
Police raided two squats in south London this Friday and arrested four people for 'conspiracy to commit violent disorder', 'evidence' being that police found body armour and a stick with a nail in it (they were later released on bail). The Borough squat on the corner of Great Dover St and Globe St and the London Bridge space on Tooley St were both being used as preparation spaces for the DSEI (arms trade) protest on Tuesday. Eyewitnesses report that police have destroyed props at the Borough space. Meanwhile over the weekend events were held in Brighton and London to highlight the arms trade and the DSEi protests.
