On Wednesday morning the corridor between Custom House DLR Station and the Excel Centre was blockaded by a group of activists to prevent delegates from entering the arms fair. It took the police approximately 30 mins to remove the activists who were handcuffed to form a blockade, while other activists handed out leaflets stating 'do not panic, this is a peaceful protest...' No one was arrested.

On Thursday morning activists stopped a DLR train full of delegates heading to the fair at Royal Victoria station. They had handcuffed themselves to the train and were removed by police before being arrested. The passengers were leafletted by the activists before being sent off the train by the police. There were many delegates on board. This made them late (and angry), therefore disrupting the arms fair.

Two other activists swam across the dock towards the Excel centre, having painted anti-arms slogans on their bodies. They got about halfway across before being caught and brought back to shore, but not arrested.

On Thursday evening a big dinner party was held for the delegates at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in central London. A group of protesters in a mini-bus were followed by the police for 2 1/2 hours all over London finally arriving at the hotel which was itself swarming with cops. Activists stood outside the hotel shouting slogans like 'would you kill your own children?' at the arms dealers as they entered the hotel. They tried to stop several cars from entering but the police roughly moved them away. The police made the activists move away from the hotel entrance by dragging them 20m along the pavement. They were then detained for breach of the peace and made to stay in a pen further from the hotel entrance from which they continued to shout at the arms dealers until they ahd all gone inside. They were released by the police with no arrests.
