Campaign Against Arms Trade aim to present a mass petition to Ken Livingstone against east London's Arms Fair, due to take place in September.

Campaign Against Arms Trade have launched an online petition against Defence Systems and Equipment International (DSEi), the biannual London arms fair which is due to take place again in September.
The petition will be presented to Ken Livingstone and the London Assembly as part of a 'People's Delegation' towards the end of July, before the Assembly starts its summer recess.
The Arms Fair is organised by Spearhead Exhibitions, part of the information giant Reed Elsevier. It is supported extensively by the Defence Export Services Organisation (DESO), a government department with 600 staff and an annual cost of around £16 million, whose only objective is selling British arms abroad.
In addition to the online petition, CAAT will be organising protests and non-violent direct action training for DSEi 2005. In addition, CAAT are asking people to put pressure on Reed Elsevier to drop this dirty part of their business.
