20th Jan 2025 – 22nd Jan 2025, 9:30 am – 4:00 pm
at Walsall Magistrates Court, WalsallOn 1st November 2023 six people disrupted the SDSC-UK Arms Fair by chaining themselves to the gates of the Telford International Centre (TIC). They are due to face trial at Walsall Magistrates Court on the rearranged date of 20th-22nd January 2025.
We are invited to support them in-person at the Court (2 or 3 hours is appreciated) and demonstrate that people in the Midlands do not support the making or trading of arms that torture, maim or kill.
Many people showed up when the SDSC arms fair returned to Telford last November to say ‘no to war’ and ‘yes to peace’. A vigil outside a performance of Goldilocks at TIC – highlighting that the arms fair takes place at the same venue as children’s entertainment – received many honks of support. This action will continue that message, supporting those who have taken non-violent direct action against the death and destruction of the arms fair.
There is a WhatsApp group for coordinating in-person court support – contact us for more details.
