ISH Panel: ‘Scotland and the Arms Trade’ 

Our It Starts Here Conference returned for another year - this time revamped (and digital)!

We were excited to continue our jam-packed Saturday programme with our fourth panel of the day.
In theory, Scotland should be leading the way in opposition to the UK’s arms industry; but in practice, the Scottish government has poured millions from the public purse into companies that fuel conflict and support repression around the world. In this panel, our speakers dissected Scotland’s contribution to the UK’s arms industry and how we should be engaging affected communities and the defence workers being left behind to build real resistance and bring an end to the deadly arms trade.

The panel was moderated by Emma Cockburn, Scotland Co-ordinator at Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT).



Speakers:
Bryan Simpson
Yasmin Luqman
Kate Nevens
(Stefan Schmid)
