At 8am on Monday morning, several ‘citizen weapons inspectors’ from the Target Brimar campaign visited the Chadderton premises of arms manufacturer Brimar, seeking information on possible connections between Brimar’s products and human rights abuses committed in Gaza and the West Bank, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
One of the campaigners, Sam Woodward, explained the action:
“We visited the Brimar factory on Monday because we believed their display systems may have been used to commit war crimes. We wanted to ask the management to clarify who they have supplied equipment to, and to speak to the workers to find out if they are aware of how the products they have made have been used.”
