UK allowed continuing arms sales to Saudi Arabia
Campaign Against the Arms Trade (CAAT), a UK-based group working to end the international arms trade, argued that the government is acting unlawfully by selling arms to Saudi given widespread concerns about the Kingdom’s brutal war on Yemen. However, the judges rejected claims of any wrongdoing.
Since March 2015, Saudi has waged a brutal war on Yemen in an attempt to crush the popular Houthi Ansarullah movement and reinstall the former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.
Saudi warplanes have pounded Yemen day and night, killing over 12,000 people, including many women and children, and displacing over three million others.
