sdgsdgsgbs

A BRAZILIAN tear gas company has been kicked out of a major arms fair in London after it was found to be marketing a banned “electro-shock device” at the event.

Condor, which manufactures “non-lethal technologies,” had its stand shut down at the Defence and Security International (DSEI) fair and its staff “ejected from the event with immediate effect,” according to a statement issued by the organisers on Friday.

The electro-shock device is “not permitted under UK law and is a breach of the event’s strict contractual terms and conditions,” organisers said.
