Rejected petition End the United Kingdom’s sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia
Rejected on
Nearly 18,000 civilians have been slaughtered in Yemen since the Saudi Arabian led coalition entered conflict 4 years ago [1].The United Kingdom have failed to follow countries such as Denmark and Germany in halting weapon sales. The government mustn’t put profit ahead of people’s lives!
