FOUR protesters who obstructed the road to a notorious arms fair that hosted authoritarian regimes and exhibited illegal weapons were convicted today.

Gary McDonald, 28, Chloe McKirdle, 21, Iain Oliver, 37, and Matthew Watling, 43, were found guilty of aggravated trespass at Stratford magistrates’ court.

They were each fined £200 and ordered to pay £500 prosecution costs.
