'PROTESTORS calling for an end to immoral arms trading marched into the region yesterday.
The North-East leg of the Control Arms Campaign was launched in Sunderland Market Square, with members dressed up as arms-dealing nations holding guns to the heads of others dressed to portray war-torn countries.
A billboard 20ft by 10ft showing an assault rifle was erected, with members of the public invited to help blot it out, by attaching photos and self portraits.
The event was organised by Amnesty International and Oxfam. For further details about the campaign, visit the website www.controlarms.org
