Birmingham students make a case against BAE
Students from the People & Planet society disrupted a recruitment presentation by BAE staff on 6th November. Over 10 students entered the lecture theatre where the presentation was being held, and gained access to the lectern to give a brief presentation on BAE's corruption and human rights abuses around the world. The students then stayed to hear BAE's own presentation and to ask questions at the end.
The protest followed a previous demonstration at a Careers Fair on 24th October where students dressed as weapons inspectors cordoned off BAE's stall to 'gather evidence' against the company. They also gave out leaflets and held a mass 'die in'.
These protests are part of a wider campaign against the presence of arms companies on campus, including their widespread involvement in university research.
