CLIMATE activists from Extinction Rebellion arrested for chaining themselves to the gates of an arms fair in Telford will go on trial this week.
Rajan Naidu, Louise Scrivens, Ralph Wallin, Fran Wilde, Alison Bath and Heather Wilde were detained after staging the action at the Specialist Defence and Security Convention UK in November 2023.
The fair brings together arms dealers, manufacturers and procurement teams from the Ministry of Defence to promote “defence” AI, surveillance and arms innovation projects.
