Another Year, Another Arms Dealers’ Dinner Disrupted By Protesters
Protesters vow that arms dealers and politicians will not dine in peace at their £265-£540-a-head annual dinner – as they prepare another year of disruption to the event.
The Aerospace, Defence & Security (ADS) Group is an arms-industry trade body that represents most of the world’s biggest arms firms. And according to Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT), every year it holds a dinner to “bring politicians together with reps from [the] world’s biggest arms companies”.
The dinner is a prestigious lobbying and networking event for many of the companies complicit in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
