Review the UK's programme of selling arms to Saudi Arabia. We can not justify it

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

There are already too many weapons in the hands of too many mad men in the region. Saudi Arabia has a horrendous human rights record. In Yemen, UK weapons are causing untold suffering by thousands of innocents caught up in a merciless war. It's morally wrong, fuels the war and harms our reputation.
