Dear friend,
EMAIL YOUR MP NOW TO DEMAND THEY TAKE ACTION IN PARLIAMENT FOR YEMEN. [1]
ON 31ST JANUARY, CAAT IS TAKING THE GOVERNMENT BACK TO COURT! The
government will face a judicial review into its decision to continue to
allow arms sales to Saudi Arabia despite overwhelming evidence of serious
violations of International Humanitarian Law in Yemen.
Saudi-led Coalition bombardments of Yemen have killed at least 8,983
civilians [2], and have contributed to a devastating humanitarian disaster
in the country.
Over half of Saudi Arabia's combat aircraft used for the bombing raids are
UK-supplied.
UK-made equipment used includes: Typhoon and Tornado aircraft, Paveway
bombs and Brimstone and Stormshadow missiles. In total the UK has supplied
at least £23 BILLION WORTH OF ARMS TO THE COALITION.
THE UK GOVERNMENT MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.
Despite a previous Court of Appeal ruling in CAAT's favour - which found
that the government's licensing decisions on arms to Saudi Arabia were
'IRRATIONAL AND THEREFORE UNLAWFUL' - the UK government continues to export
arms for use in Yemen.
EMAIL YOUR MP NOW! [1]
Thank you for your support.
