ACTIVISTS from London for a Free Palestine occupied the Department of Business and Trade today, demanding that the British government stop arming Israel.
The campaigners took over the lobby in the Old Admiralty Building, chanting: “British government you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide.”
One protester, Maria, said: “We are going here today because the Department for Business and Trade is where the licences for British arms exports to Israel are signed and approved.
