UK arms sales exposed: Urgent Action bulletin

UK arms sales exposed: Urgent Action bulletin

Please add your voice to say 'This Is NOT OK'.

The UK's scandalous approach to arms sales is in the spotlight. As protests against authoritarian regimes across the Middle East have been met with violent repression, CAAT has exposed the UK's role in arming the region.

Influence the new government on arms exports

Last year, the Conservatives said they wanted to increase the support given to arms exports, and use arms sales as a "foreign policy tool" - a truly alarming prospect. But in the past many senior Liberal Democrats have supported our campaign to end government support for arms exports.

Please take time to email Vince Cable, the minister responsible for UKTI and ask him to end the disproportionate support given to the UKTI Defence & Security Organisation.

More information can be found here in the May 2010 CAAT bulletin - along with info on the upcoming Stop Week, People's Jury and BAE AGM, a new briefing paper 'Private Gain, Public Pain' and more.
Clarion Events continue trying to sanitise their image with another innocuous sounding Fair, forgetting to tell attendees that they also host numerous arms fairs, including the DSEi Arms Fair in Docklands in 2011. This is the World's biggest Arms Fair.

Come along to Olympia, Hammersmith Road W14, and protest on Saturday 5 June. Help us tell attendees about the rather un-lovely deadly exhibits that Clarion help to promote when they hope we're admiring paintings.

Urgent election action

The lead-up to the election on 6 May is a great opportunity for anti-arms trade campaigners to reach parliamentary candidates and voters.

See the national CAAT for more details.
