What the petition asks

stop selling weapon’s to Saudi Arabia
The arms sold by the UK are used to fuel the civil war in Yemen which is the cause of its famine and current humanitarian crisis which approx. 25 million people are suffering from.‬ It’s painful to see the world sat silently while the bullies and oppressors of millions of lives are getting away with daily slaughter of innocent children and adults. These people have no mistake but to be living in their country, their home land, their safe place. But unfortunately it can no longer be called that because the country is facing three types of extreme crises at once.
