Refuse to fund human rights abuses, either directly or through arms sales

Petition Details

In light of the recent Arms Fair in London and the £5.9 million contract to aid the Saudi Arabian prison system, we ask that the Government prioritises its duty to protect human rights. Refuse to fund or trade arms with countries practising torture, and use diplomatic methods to end this practice.
