Stop Arming the Saudis on Yemen!

Being an anti-war activist as well, what I think of the Saudis hasn't changed since founding out of their mortal sin: supply ISIS backed rebels who are Sunnj while the world never cares if the Saudis attacked here or what!

Anti-arms trade activists are demanding that the UK stops peddling arms to Saudi Arabia, as the death toll in Yemen passes 2,000. Their call comes as a Saudi blogger faces a decade in prison and 1,000 lashes for expressing his political views.

The 10-year and 1,000 lashes sentence for Raif Badawi was upheld by the Supreme Court in the Gulf kingdom’s capital, Riyadh, last week. The ruling has sparked outrage among social justice groups around the globe.

“The fact that it is also the world’s largest buyer of UK weapons is a sign of the real hypocrisy at the heart of UK foreign policy,” he said.

“What right does the UK have to talk about human rights and democracy when its ministers are directly promoting arms sales to a regime that tortures bloggers?”

Over the course of its first four years in government, the previous Tory-Lib Dem coalition plowed ahead with the UK’s well-trodden policy of licensing £3.8 billion worth of arms to Saudi Arabia.

“This included licenses for combat aircraft, components for bombs, weapon sights and tear gas. There is no suggestion that this will change under the current government,” CAAT said.

What word I saw their that made me feel outraged against UK? Hypocrisy!! Their foreign policy is hypocrisy. Promoting democracy while letting the Saudis get away with their Wahhabist and Salafist rule over the people, like it is just a comic book affair never to be shown to the public no matter what or simpley, denying any trace of evidence.
