CAMPAIGNERS are targeting the world’s best-known rugby stadium for protests against an arms fair which features exhibitors dealing weapons to Israel for its genocidal attacks on Gaza.

Twickenham Stadium in south-west London is the home of the English Rugby Union.

Every year the stadium hosts a conference which brings together arms manufacturers and buyers from some of the world’s most oppressive regimes.
