The arrested prosecute!

News in Brief

Leg irons, electric stun batons and electric stun guns were unlawfully promoted for sale at the DSEI arms fair last September.

That is the allegation of a group of activists arrested at DSEi in September 2013 (but whose prosecutions were discontinued). In mid-March, they began private prosecutions against two companies who exhibited at the East London arms fair.

The activists summonsed Magforce International (from France) and Tianjin MyWay International Trading (from China); companies ejected from DSEI after Green MP Caroline Lucas asked questions about them in parliament on 11 September.
