LONDON — A young boy will demonstrate how a Kalashnikov assault rifle works in an advert due to hit British cinema screens as part of a campaign against the arms trade.
The hard-hitting advert is an initiative by human rights organisation Amnesty International.
The spoof-shopping channel commercial shows presenters talking up the firepower and reliability of the AK-47, as the boy demonstrates how it is so easy to use even a child can fire it.
