The Lancet Medical Journal Attacks its Owners for Organising DSEi Arms Fair
09-09-2005 12:54
Here's the full texts from latest issue of highly respected medical journal The Lancet. Their criticism of their owners Reed Elsevier has hit the media with articles in the BBC and others: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4227702.stm http://news.independent.co.uk/business/news/article311323.ece http://www.forbes.com/home/feeds/afx/2005/09/09/afx2215101.html etc etc
"The Lancet's editors and the journal's International Advisory Board were unaware of Reed Elsevier's involvement with DSEi until a few weeks ago. We are deeply troubled by this connection to the arms trade. On behalf of our readers and contributors, we respectfully ask Reed Elsevier to divest itself of all business interests that threaten human, and especially civilian, health and well-being."
