CAAT goes to court!

"Despite a previous Court of Appeal ruling in CAAT’s favour – which found that the government’s licensing decisions on arms to Saudi Arabia were ‘irrational and therefore unlawful’ – the UK government has continued to issue
licenses to export arms for use in Yemen. Since the start of the war, more than £23 billion of arms have been sold to the Saudi led coalition: the consequences have been appalling, with 8,983 civilians killed in air raids fuelled by these weapons.
We are therefore back at the High Court this week. The Government faces a judicial review to hold it accountable for these dreadful decisions. The hearing starts Tuesday 31st January. If you are in London, you can join us outside court tonight, Monday 30th for a
solidarity vigil, or during the day on Tues 31st at the court. More details via the CAAT Events page." Kristen Bayes #Caat #YemenCantWait
