Campaign Against Arms Trade Protest

by:

Farnborough : Farnborough International is an air show and family day. But the public days are preceded by a full trade exhibition for aerospace and military products - with the full intention of promoting more arms around the world. Campaign Against Arms Trade will be peacefully protesting at Farnborough on the first of the trade days. CAAT will be highlighting Farnborough as yet another example of blatant corporate welfare provided by the UK Government in the form of DESO. CAAT will also highlight the fact that around 90 percent of victims of war are civilians and that 50 percent of these are children, a terrifying statistic which makes Farnborough's 'International Youth Day' especially cynical. Please join CAAT to emphasize the reality of Farnborough at a peaceful protest, outside the fair on Monday 17 July, at 11 am. Farnborough is located in Surrey, a short train journey from London.
