End the Arms Trade! Defend the Right to Protest!
08-09-2011 15:55
A march for peace and freedom will take place on Wednesday 14th September, from Westminster to the ExCel Centre in east London, where 'Defence and Security Equipment International' (DSEi), the world's biggest arms trade fair will be in progress.
In recent months, citizens have been slaughtered by the day in Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Syria and elsewhere by totalitarian regimes that refuse to recognise their right to peaceful protest. To carry out this repression, governments have used arms sold to them by British companies through arms fairs like DSEi.
The British government spends millions of pounds defending the 'right' of arms companies to ply their wares undisturbed at DSEi, whilst forbidding citizens from marching peacefully and exercising their hard won rights to freedom of expression and association.
It is vital that we make the link between defending the right of citizens to protest peacefully and the arms trade.
Meet 10am, Kingsgate House - home of the Government's arms export division, UKTI DSO - 66-74 Victoria Street, London. SW1E 6SW

Legal info:
Note that this march complies with the notification requirements for processions under sec.11 Public Order Act 1986. It may, however, breach a 30-day blanket ban on processions in the City of London and several east London boroughs. The organiser of this march reasonably believes that the ban is a serious, disproportionate and unreasonable infringement of Articles 10 (freedom of expression) and 11 (freedom of association) of the European Convention on Human Rights, incorporated into domestic law through the Human Rights Act 1998.
Please get in touch to publicly pledge to defy the ban.
Planned route: Victoria Street, Parliament Square, Whitehall, Strand, Fleet St, Ludgate Hill, Cannon St, Queen Victoria St, Cornhill, Leadenhall St, Aldgate, Aldgate High St, Whitechapel High St, Braham St, Commercial Road, East India Dock Rd, Silvertown Way, Peto St North, Victoria Dock Rd, finishing at Custom House DLR for ExCel Centre.

On 13 September, one of the world's biggest arms fairs opens in London, backed by the British government. On 8 September, the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry will hold a preview entitled "Middle East: A vast market for UK defence and security companies". The host was the Royal Bank of Scotland, a major investor in cluster bombs. According to Amnesty international, the victims of cluster bombs are 98 per cent civilians and 30 per cent children. The Royal Bank of Scotland has received £20 million in public money. The blurb for the bank's arms party reads: "The Middle East is one of the regions with the greatest number of opportunities for UK defence and security companies. Saudi Arabia... is the world's top defence importer, having spent $56bn in 2009... a very worthwhile region to target."Palestine Today 09 08 2011

Spartaci, Spartacum, Spartacuses?

I have put myself back on trial to support the F&M defendants because I believe the CPS has no more reason to prosecute them than they do to prosecute me. It is in no-ones interest to penalise peaceful protest. It is in everyones’ interest to support people who stand up against injustice.
Anonymous Spartacus
In June, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped charges against 109 of the Fortnum 145, after doing the same with the few younger protesters some time before that. Their reason for continuing with the remaining 30 has been cited as the possession of ‘leaflets and signs‘.
