Stop Arming Saudi while Yemen starves
Grosvenor House Hotel, London. Wed 23rd Jan 2019
Police officers appear to be twisting the wrists of one of the protesters
rather than simply moving him away
another is dragged towards the gutter
The Grim Reaper
Another man goes into the dinner past the Campaign Against the Arms
Trade banner
A man hides is face as he walks towards the entrance
A woman holds up a poster about arms manufacture Northrop Grumman
who train the Saudi military to bomb Yemen
'Selling Weapons = Complicity in War Crimes
People keep chanting noisily so those inside can hear the protest
Protesters shout slogans
A police officer points his finger at one of the protesters
protesters shout at a man going in to the Aerospace, Defence and
Security dinner
Another man pushes his way through
on his way to the dinner
More people arrive for the dinner
A protester bands a tambourine
A worried looking man walks past a protester with a poster 'Stop Arming
Saudi Arabia'
while anohter seems rather composed as people shout at him
Police start to shif people who have sat on the pavement away from
the hotel entrance
and to move others off the pavement
protesters stop another who has been sent flying by a police officer
Among the protesters are some from Yemen
The dinner has begun, and although the protest outside is continuing noisily
there seems unlikely to be much
more to photograph outside and I decide it is time to leave
