Stop the sale of British weapons to Saudi Arabia.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The Saudi Government is using British made weapons to kill innocent civilians in Yemen. We as a world leader should not be condoning this by continuing to sell weapons to a country that has shown they have no regard to civilian life.
Saudi Arabia and Iran have been using the Yemen civil war as a means to fit each other as a proxy war. Both countries have committed serious crimes in this region however Saudi Arabia have been sold British weapons which are being used to kill civilians. As a civilized democracy we cannot allow this to continue.
