Malvern Arms Fair
Posted: 20th October 2022
Dear friend
CAAT says no to injunction at Malvern arms fair, yes to the right to protest!
Three Counties Showground are seeking an injunction against “persons unknown” to limit protests against the Malvern arms fair, 3CDSE (31 Oct – 2 Nov)
The focus of the fair is “hybrid warfare”. Electronic and cyber warfare, drone warfare, and unmanned vehicles are an important part of modern warfare, are lethal in their own right, and are of deep concern to all those interested in peace and justice. It is therefore entirely legitimate to want to protest such an event, and any injunction that limits the right to protest should be taken in that light.
We are challenging this injunction in court today, Thursday 20th October. We need your support to say no to this injunction and to defend the right to protest!
How you can help!
- If you can afford to, please donate to CAAT’s campaigns (and thank you if you already do!)
- Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and share about the court case using #DefendDissent and #StopProtestInjunctions
- Join the local CAAT groups’ resistance to 3CDSE in Malvern (more via CAAT’s Events page, or contact [email protected]).
Protest remains an important democratic right. Protesters are ordinary members of the public, saying no to violence and repression, and seeking to make their voice heard.
Thank you for your support, and for standing with all those who resist the arms trade.
