One less venue for arms dealers

On 8 October 2013, the Savile Club was due to host arms dealers for a networking breakfast. With a keynote speaker set to offer help to "identify and develop security export opportunities in key markets overseas and maximise the security legacy of the 2012 Olympic Games", we thought we'd point out that "security" means just the opposite when you export to repressive governments like Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Colombia.

So a group of us made our way to the Savile Club at 8am to interrupt proceedings, but as we got into position to effectively shut the event down, we discovered the booking had already been cancelled!

Our protest at a previous event was enough to dissuade the arms dealers from returning. Read more and get involved: http://www.stopthearmsfair.org.uk/the-best-kind-of-protest-is-one-where-youve-already-won/
