Prime Minister of Canada: Stop selling Weapons to Saudi Arabia
Adel M.
started this petition to
Prime Minister of Canada
The Right Honorable Justin Trudeau
Prime Minister of Canada
As a Canadian Citizen, like many others, I was highly pleased by your election to the highest office of our country.
As a Saudi National, however, your Government's latest decision is deeply disturbing.
Your Government announced it would not rescind the contract negotiated by the former Conservative Government to supply $15 Billion worth of weaponized vehicles to the Saudi Government.
The Saudi population is well aware that a few of these vehicles will be used to safeguard the borders, and the majority will be applied to keep the general population under tight control
As a result of the Saudi economic reality and Saudi Government repression of personal rights - including freedom of religion, speech, media, peaceful gatherings or demonstrations, any critique of the Government, basic women's rights plus Government corruption - social unrest increases to ferment.
You are aware of the Basic Laws of Saudi Arabia applicable for Saudi Nationals, many incompatible with Canadian values, including:
- any critique of the Saudi government is punishable by prison,
lashings and/or public beheading, including crucifycation.
- apostasy (renouncement of the Saudi government approved
interpretation of Islam), homosexuality, adultery, witchcraft and
sorcery are punishable by public beheading, including crucifycation
There is no doubt whatsoever that the Saudi royal family will continue to deploy any means necessary to safeguard their autocratic regime over the 20 million population, plus 10 million foreigners.
The Canadian weapons will play a major part.
Result: many more thousands of innocent killed, more millions of Arab refugees.
“Almost all of our allies are selling weapons to Saudi Arabia,” your
Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion argued. “It’s part of the world in which we live.”
Unfortunately, it looks like back to business as usual.
Respectfully, I submit that the issue of weapons sales to Saudi Arabia needs to be officially revisited and the Canadian public be fully informed and consulted, before proceeding any further.
Respectfully,
Adel Mosly
Prime Minister of Canada
