David Wearing - Britain is behind the slaughter in Yemen. Here's how you could help end it


British planes and British bombs are spearheading the killings. Politicians and the media must raise their voices in opposition



This week a report by UN experts warned that Britain could be complicit in war crimes through its arming of the Saudi Arabia-led coalition intervening in Yemen’s civil conflict. The report is the latest in a long line from the UN and the world’s most respected NGOs documenting a consistent pattern of violations. The experts note that leading arms providers like the UK “have a specific influence” on the belligerents “and may be held responsible for providing aid or assistance for the commission of international law violations”.
