SUMMARY:Stop Arming Saudi: Vigil for Yemen
DESCRIPTION:In light of the coronavirus situation\, we are moving this vigi
 l online. Please see more details below.\n\nThis March marks 5 years of Sa
 udi led bombing in Yemen\, in a conflict which has led to the deaths of ov
 er 100\,000 people. The Saudi led attacks have regularly targeted civilian
 s\, including multiple airstrikes on hospitals.\n\n1) Please write to the 
 Attorney General to ask him to move forward with the prosecution of Airbus
  on corruption charges regarding a £2 billion deal to supply communicatio
 ns equipment to the Saudi Arabian National Guard - https://www.caat.org.uk

 ut the anniversary of the war and to call on the government to #StopArming
 Saudi. Please find some suggested posts below.\n\n100\,000 dead in Yemen a
 nd yet the UK government still supplies weapons to the Saudi Arabian regim
 e. When will they #StopArmingSaudi?\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Saudi-led coalition h
 ave bombed schools\, hospitals and funerals. The UK government is complici
 t in these atrocities through £6.3bn worth of sales to the coalition. The
 y must #StopArmingSaudi\n\n\n \n\n\n£5.3bn worth of weapons sales to Sau
 di Arabia have caused untold devastation to Yemen and caused the world’s
  worst humanitarian crisis. The UK government must #StopArmingSaudi\n\n\n
  \n\n\nIn August 2018\, over 40 children were killed in a Saudi-led coali
 tion airstrike on a school bus. This is just one example of the devastatio

 n\n\nThere are infographics you can download here and more suggested actio
 ns in the War in Yemen\, Made in Europe: online action day event - see her
 e if you want to take further action\n\nThroughout the war Saudi Arabia ha
 s been heavily supported by the UK\, with over £6.3bn of weapons sold to 
 the Saudi-led coalition since the war began. The UK not only supplies plan
 es and bombs\, but also the support personnel required to keep the planes 
 flying. Despite arms sales to Saudi Arabia being ruled unlawful in June 20
 19\, the government has ignored this law on 3 occasions\, and any existing
  deals of planes and support services continue to go ahead.
