'Manchester's Faces' call for tougher arms controls...

Photographic portraits of 1,000 people in Manchester backing calls for tougher regulations on the arms trade will be presented for the first time next Wednesday (29 March). The portraits, including those of Lemn Sissay (below), The Doves, Richard Ashcroft and Elbow, have been taken by a group of Oxfam volunteers over the last five months as part of the 100 Day Countdown for the Control Arms campaign.

Lemn Sissay
