Peace activists target arms fair host — the London Science Museum

PEACE activists targeted the London Science Museum last night after it agreed to host an arms fair welcome reception for the sake of funding.

After weeks of lobbying museum management not to provide a home for schmoozing arms dealers, supporters of the Campaign Against Arms Trade found no other option but to join forces and demonstrate at the event.

The museum will play host to the Farnborough International Airshow. While commonly known as a public aerobatics attraction, it is also an international arms industry expo.
