Every two years, the DSEI arms fair takes place at the Excel centre in London docklands and they are greeted by a massive coalition of civil society, determined to oppose them.
DSEI (Defence & Security Equipment International) is the world’s largest arms fair, where arms buyers and sellers get together to network and make deals, profiting from the death and suffering their weapons cause worldwide.
#StopArmingSaudi
Saudi Arabia is the UK’s biggest arms customer and one of the world’s most authoritarian regimes. It’s repression at home and aggression abroad is propped up and supported by UK arms sales. Not only does Saudi brutally repress it’s own population, it has used UK weapons to crush pro-democracy protests in Bahrain and now UK-made warplanes are playing a central role in Saudi Arabia’s attacks in Yemen.
Campaign Against the Arms Trade‘s legal challenge to the UK government’s decision to continue licensing the export of military equipment to Saudi Arabia continues.
