Friends across Britain marked International Conscientious Objectors’ Day on 15 May.

Liverpool Quaker Peace Group and Merseyside Peace Network organised a stall, where they drew attention to the fact that ‘conscription is still a reality in many countries’.

Edward Bruce, convenor of the Peace Group, said: ‘We have found it so rewarding, engaging with the public on peace issues, and the almost one hundred per cent positive response that we have received from passers-by has been really encouraging.’
