A 22-year-old man arrested outside the Science Museum in Kensington during a protest against its decision to host military delegates earlier this year has had his trial delayed.

Isa Alaali has been charged with obstructing a public highway during a protest by the Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT), who organised the demonstration.

The Science Museum in Exhibition Road held the event as part of the launch of the Farnborough Airshow.

Representatives from Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are thought to have been present at the meeting.
