Stop trading in and/or providing weapons and armaments to Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is using weapons and armaments made and sold by British companies (E.G. BAe Systems) to bomb hospitals, children's schools, residential homes and other none military targets in Yemen.
The government has been put on notice that it is in breach of international law for allowing the export of British-made missiles and military equipment to Saudi Arabia that might have been used to kill civilians.
