Vigil at arms industry conference to kick off 5-day fast for arms trade victims

Dan Viesnik | 06.09.2009 20:32 | Anti-militarism

At the same time as Disarm DSEi and others hold a noise demo outside the pre-DSEi arms industry conference at the QEII Conference Centre in Westminster on Monday (7 September, from 8am), I will be there (with others hopefully) commencing my five-day "famine" and series of vigils for the victims - both direct and indirect - of the arms trade.

Aside from the arms trade conference, my programme for the week will include visits to ExCel, UKTI Death Squad Organisation (formally known as Defence and Security Organisation), Department for Business, Parliament Square, Foreign Office, Downing Street, Ministry of Defence, Buckingham Palace and the offices of various arms manufacturers in central London.

I would welcome others joining me at any time during the week for what is planned to be a peaceful but visual presence throughout the week.

More details on my blog for this event:

Good luck to everyone taking a stand against this sickening arms fair and immoral industry.

(Please note that my vigil at the QEII Conference Centre on Monday is a separate event from the Disarm DSEi demo. Anyone who wants to vigil peacefully is very welcome to join me.)
