United Kingdom: Stop Selling Arms for War Crimes - ONLINE PETITION

Amnesty International UK
     Yesterday a Saudi-led airstrike resulted in the destruction of an entire NGO-run hospital in Yemen. This bombing of civilian targets is the latest in a six-month air campaign against Yemen, largely ignored by the rest of the world. Thousands have been killed already and many homes, schools and hospitals destroyed. Demand the UK government stop selling arms that risk being used to commit human rights violations.

      The bloody conflict in Yemen has been raging for six months – but largely ignored by the rest of the world. Devastating air strikes, led by Saudi Arabia, have killed thousands of Yemeni civilians and destroyed homes, schools and hospitals. Meanwhile, the UK government has been providing weapons to those committing these horrific war crimes.

Demand the UK stops selling arms that risk being used in human rights abuses to Saudi Arabia and the other countries bombing Yemen – we must not be complicit in killing civilians.
