To implement a full independent inquiry into the supply of British arms to ISIS.
Oliver Sprague, Amnesty UK’s arms programme director, said:“Decades of free-flowing arms into Iraq meant that when [Isis] took control of these areas, they were like children in a sweetshop”
He added: “The fact that countries including the UK have ended up inadvertently arming [Isis] , should give us pause over current weapons deals”.
The extent of the armoury available to Isis reflects decades of irresponsible arms transfers to Iraq, a danger compounded by lax controls over military stockpiles and endemic corruption by successive Iraqi governments, says Amnesty.
