Protesters block DSEI arms fair entrances

ExCeL Centre, London. Wed 6 Sep 2017
 


 

 

 Finally the third protester is freed from the case her arm was fixed in

 

 and again lifted up and carried to the van

 

 It has taken police several hours to free the three protesters

 and now they have two more to deal with

 People watch them and applaud through the fence

 

 

 and a woman on a mobility scooter tries to go through the gate but is turned back by police

 I retrun to the East gate to find another pair locked together

 The special unit are taking a break - and have the pair at the West gate to deal with, so these people will have

 a long wait. Police just stand around, having arrested them they cannot yet move them

 London WILPF with a banner and a row of cofiins on the blocked road

 

 

 

 People stand on the road with durms and banners and windmills

 

 

 

 

 

 or sit down and talk

 

 

 

 

THe action has been succesful in blocking both gates for some hours - though quite a few arrests have been made

I decide it's time to leave.
