Peace campaigners to protest arms fair in Liverpool

PEACE campaigners will protest in Liverpool tomorrow to demand council chiefs refuse to allow a sales exhibition of deadly weapons to take place.

The AOC Europe 2021 arms fair is due to take place at the council-owned ACC Exhibition Centre from October 11 to 13.

A coalition of organisations has combined to form Liverpool Against the Arms Fair and members will hold a protest outside a Liverpool Council meeting tomorrow backing city Mayor Joanne Anderson’s bid to ban the fair.
