Campaign Against Arms Trade

 

Thank you to everyone who took action last week calling for an arms embargo to Egypt. Some of you may have had this reply…

 

…which doesn’t rule out Egypt being invited to attend the London arms fair in September by any of the 1300 companies exhibiting there. (More on the arms fair here: http://www.stopthearmsfair.org.uk/)

 

…and which defends the fact that the UK has not suspended all weapons licences to Egypt. This despite the fact the UK has licensed parts for helicopters seen in operation in Cairo in recent weeks.

 

Please keep up the pressure for a full arms embargo to Egypt:

And take action to stop the arms fair and the conflict and repression it fuels around the world: http://www.stopthearmsfair.org.uk/events/
