London, UK. 9th September 2017. Police surround a small group who have linked arms and are sittin on the road in front of a lorry at the East gate of the worlds's largest arms fair, DSEI, the Defence & Security Equipment International. The arms fair, backed by the UK government, is where arms companies and arms dealers sell weapons to countries around the world including many repressive regimes. Police threatened the group with arrest but they were still sitting there when I left the protest.
