Dear friend

NO TO THE TELFORD ARMS FAIR! PROTEST ON 20TH NOVEMBER 2024

The SDSC ARMS FAIR plans to return to TELFORD INTERNATIONAL CENTRE in
November (18-20th)

This arms fair, full name Specialist Defence & Security Convention UK,
focuses on military equipment for front-line infantry soldiers.

IT WILL INCLUDE EXHIBITORS FROM A NUMBER OF ARMS COMPANIES, INCLUDING THOSE
DEEPLY COMPLICIT IN THE ISRAELI GENOCIDE OF PALESTINIANS IN GAZA, such as:

* ELBIT SYSTEMS – manufacturer of bombs, mortars and drones, and
Israel’s largest privately held arms company
* L3 HARRIS – maker of surveillance, night vision and targeting
equipment and supplier of bomb release mechanisms for Israel’s F35
aircraft, which has been confirmed as being involved in the deaths of
civilians in Gaza
* ULTRA ELECTRONICS - has been granted numerous arms export licences to
Israel by the UK Government and has been involved in the development of the
F35 warplane.

STOP SDSC-UK, A COALITION OF GROUPS FROM QUAKERS, CAAT, EXTINCTION
REBELLION, PALESTINE SOLIDARITY GROUPS AND OTHERS WILL BE SAYING NO TO THIS
DREADFUL ARMS FAIR.

JOIN THE PROTEST ON 20TH NOVEMBER! Save the date! More details to follow.

The protest organisers say,

_"Telford International Centre should be where people go to enjoy fun
events like bicycle or model shows, concerts or pantomimes: it should not
be involved in death and destruction. This arms fair was chased out of
Malvern, when it was called 3CDSE. We can tell this arms fair it is not
welcome in Telford!_

_We believe the arms industry has skills and capabilities that should be
put to peaceful purposes, and want to see new, better jobs for those
working in the industry, as part of a green transition.”_
