Stop arms sales to Saudi Arabia

To the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs, Federica Mogherini:

As citizens highly concerned with the horrific situation of children in Yemen, we urge you to put forward a proposal in the European Council to impose an EU arms embargo on Saudi Arabia. As the UN officially placed them on the blacklist for killing or injuring at least 683 children, any weapons sales to the kingdom would make Europe complicit in these horrific crimes.

Stop arms sales to Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia was just placed on the UN blacklist with the likes of ISIS and Boko Haram for murdering children in Yemen. But the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany and many more are still selling them weapons!

In one week we have a chance to end this murderous complicity. European Foreign Policy Chief Mogherini is going to make a statement about Yemen. If enough of us demand it fast, she could call for a total ban on arms sales -- if she does, it will set a precedent for the world.

We can do this -- our massive campaign already persuaded the European Parliament to vote for a ban. Now we could make it binding. But Foreign Chief Mogherini needs to feel the whole world demanding it, and we've only got days. Let's get one million behind this push and publish our petition in newspapers in Brussels and Italy so she feels personal responsibilityfor the children in Yemen that can't be heard.
