Petition Action

End all UK weapons sales to oppressive regimes.

Petition Details

The UK currently sells large quantities of weapons to countries that the Foreign Office recognises as having poor human rights records, including some that have even been accused of war crimes. Profit and political pandering to these regimes should not outweigh basic human rights.
