Yesterday Corporate Watch made public a damning dossier on French Arms Dealers Magforce International – the company we had sought to privately prosecute for displaying illegal torture weapons at last year’s DSEI arms fair. The dossier brings to light the company’s alleged links with mercenaries and warlords, as well as ‘how the firm flourishes in a culture of impunity, flaunting arms controls across the globe’.
MagForce was thrown out of London’s Defence Sales and Equipment International (DSEI) arms fair in September 2013 for exhibiting brochures that included electric stun guns/batons and leg restraints.
