Uprooted Palestinians are at the heart of the conflict in the M.E Palestinians uprooted by force of arms. Yet faced immense difficulties have survived, kept alive their history and culture, passed keys of family homes in occupied Palestine from one generation to the next.
Amnesty International staged a protest against Britain’s arms sales to Saudi Arabia, which has been killing civilians in its airstrikes in Yemen.
The international human rights organization delivered five 1.8m long replicas of the Paveway IV missile, with the words “Made in Britain, destroying lives in Yemen” emblazoned on their sides to Downing Street on Whitehall in London on Friday.
According to Amnesty, the British government has sold 2,400 missiles and 58 warplanes to Saudi Arabia in the last year alone, enabling it to continue its war against Yemen.
In the context, Amnesty International UK Director Kate Allen said at the protest: “We’re drawing as much attention as we can to the fact that the UK government is selling arms to Saudi Arabia and we absolutely know what is happening in Yemen, and where Saudi Arabia is in terms of the war in Yemen.”
Allen also called for an end to the British arms deals with Riyadh, saying they violate international law.
In parallel, reports said last week that the British arms sales to Saudi Arabia will face a parliamentary inquiry.
Earlier last month, the European Parliament passed a resolution demanding the imposition of an arms embargo against Saudi Arabia as the kingdom continues with its deadly military campaign against neighboring Yemen.
Also late last month, Amnesty urged an arms embargo on Saudi Arabia, saying it has documented violations of human rights, including possible war crimes ever since Saudi Arabia invaded the country last year.
