Archbishop adds voice to clamour against DSEI arms fair
Rowan Williams

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams added his voice today to a forthcoming week of protests against London’s DSEI arms fair.

The government-backed Defence and Security Equipment International arms fair, which hosts buyers from some of the world’s most reviled political regimes, takes place in London every two years.

The 2019 event takes place in the Excel Centre in London’s Docklands starting on Monday next week.
