Thousands of protesters will try to stop one of the 
world's biggest arms fairs this autumn. The Defence 
Systems Equipment International (DSEi) death bazaar 
is due to start in Docklands on Saturday 6th 
September. Arms buyers from all over the world are 
expected to visit the Excel Centre, many of them from 
states on the Amnesty International list of human 
rights' abusers. Among other things orders will be 
placed for guns, bombs, military planes, small arms, 
mines and tanks.

But anti-militarists from direct action group DISARM 
DSEi say they aren't prepared to allow the killers to 
shop in secret. "The arms trade, of which DSEi 2003 is 
an important part, is an international political 
business made up of multinational companies which 
kill and maim for profit", the group says.

The last DSEi began on September 11th 2001, 
coinciding with the attacks on New York and 
Washington. But the event continued, allowing buyers 
from America, Israel and fourteen Arab states to 
continue shopping side by side.

Although demonstrations will continue for the whole 
of the week in which the fair is held, there will be a 
Day of Direct Action on 10th September. Two main 
actions are planned, helped by the site's two mile long 
perimeter. This takes in roads, railway stations, the 
docks and the City Airport.

To get involved contact DISARM DSEi, Box 8, 84b 
Whitechapel High Street, London E1 7QX. Visit
