G4S’s annual general meeting on Thursday 4th June 2015 descended into chaos after a number of protestors disrupted proceedings and had to be forcibly carried out of the venue by guards.

On the day of the meeting it was announced that all electronic devices would be banned from the venue; despite this, parts of the protest were successfully filmed by one activist.

On the YouTube page where the video was uploaded, those behind the demonstration claim that they were “protesting against [G4S’s] profit from oppression, state violence and human rights abuses everywhere… From G4S-run prisons in Israel where Palestinians are tortured and held without charge, to the killing of Jimmy Mubenga during his deportation from the UK by G4S security.”

A G4S spokesman recently told IBTimes: "The G4S board has already announced that the company does not intend to renew these contracts [in Israel] as they expire over the next two years."
