DSEi Arms Fair protest Israeli Arms Sales

Excel London,Royal Victoria Dock. Mon 7 Sep 2015


 
 

A 'Killing Machines 'R' Us rep

 The possibly illegal fence seems rather an own goal by Excel at a protest against arming Israel. It saved
protesters bringing their own 'wall' and they can hang their huge 'Stop Arming Israel!' banner on it

 

 

 A picket on the road into Excel

 

 Protesters run with a banner onto the road in front of an approaching lorry carrying a military vehicle for DSEi
 And more follow it

 One man begins to lock himself onto the lorry underneath the military vehicle

  and puts on a mask of war criminal Tony Blair
 
Protesters climb onto the lorry with a banner 'Stop Arming Israel' 

and a Palestinian flag 

A woman has written 'Kill' and 'Arms Tested on Children' on the MAN vehicle with a white board marker.
I saw from a distance as police dragged her off to a police van. She is charge with criminal damage,
though it will almost certainly wipe off without trace from the painted surface. 

 

'Toy Blair' locked on. Protesters still hope to see him tried for war crimes onver the invasion of Iraq 

 

More protesters sit on the tail of the lorry
