Bennett voices support for peace activists on trial
GREEN PARTY leader Natalie Bennett threw her support behind anti-war campaigners yesterday who were facing trial following an arms trade protest.
Eight people, including Cambridge councillor Angela Ditchfield, were facing charges after blocking a road and disrupting last year’s Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI) arms fair.
Ms Bennett said that if the Stop the Arms Fair group was able to actually prevent arms sales it was all worthwhile.
