3. Yemen: Arms Sales Back on Trial (News)

New court dates in early 2023 have been announced for CAAT’s Judicial Review of Yemen arms sales. We expect to be back in court in January, holding the Government to account for its decision to restart arms sales to Saudi Arabia, despite massive civilian casualties in Yemen.


4. No to Farnborough War-show (Report)

Boris Johnson may have wanted to quietly enjoy his ride in a fighter jet, but campaigners made their voices heard in Farnborough earlier this month, on one of the hottest days ever in the UK.
