Barclays AGM disrupted by activists protesting over Gaza
LONDON (Reuters) -Barclays' annual shareholder meeting was disrupted by activists protesting against its alleged indirect links to violence in Gaza, with the bank's chair telling security staff to eject them from the event in Glasgow on Thursday. Barclays said last week it did not invest its own money in companies that supply weapons used by Israel in Gaza, and it only trades shares in such companies on behalf of clients. Chief Executive C.S. Venkatakrishnan urged activists to reserve their questions until later in the meeting as he attempted to address shareholders.
