CAAT’s Media Coordinator was arrested on 9th October for breaching conditions imposed on a protest because the police believed she planned to attend a protest, and because she demanded to know why she was stopped when many other people were allowed to walk down the street.

"Will the Prime Minister stop Israeli arms dealers from parading their Gaza-tested weapons on UK soil?" 👏👏👏 Israeli's 3 biggest arms companies - Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries and Rafael - are exhibiting in London now. The genocide could not happen without them.
Sickening. @Keir_Starmer has nothing to say when I confront him about the Israeli companies parading "battle-tested" weapons at the #DSEI2025 Arms Fair in London - in other words, weapons that have been used to kill men, women and children in Gaza #StopDSEI
