Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) is a UK-based organisation working to end the international arms trade. Nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.
Since 2015, Britain has sold at least £33.9bn in weapons to Saudi Arabia. During this time, Saudi Arabia was leading attacks on Yemen that killed at least 377,000 people. Today, this deadly partnership continues. Uncover UK-Saudi arms relationship: caat.org.uk/data/countri...
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia is one of Britain's top arms customers. UK-made weapons were used in the Saudi-led war on Yemen which killed more than 377,000 people. Today, their close ties continue.
Five months ago, the United States killed 168 schoolchildren and teachers in Iran. The Tomahawk missiles used were made by Raytheon - parts of which are made in Scotland. We will never forget.

Last week, more than £63 billion in arms deals were made across four days at Farnborough International Airshow and arms fair. These deadly deals, hosted in Britain, will be used for devastation across the world. Shameful.
🚨NOW: As families attend Farnborough International Airshow, an arms fair marketed as a “family day out”, protestors are at the entrance exposing what the weapons inside do to families across the world.
NOW: Protestors are outside of the entrance of Farnborough International Airshow on the day marketed as a "family day out". This is one of Britain's largest arms fairs, with 1,000+ weapons companies exhibiting weapons used to massacre families across the world.
Today is the “family entertainment” day of horrific arms fair and airshow Farnborough International. Activists are handing out leaflets to expose the truth about this marketplace of death.

CAAT STATEMENT: The Defence Investment Plan announced yesterday by the outgoing Prime Minister from the offices of a drone-making BAE Systems subsidiary represents a dangerous failure of imagination. caat.org.uk/news/billion...
The UK government has announced nearly £300 billion in military spending over the next 4 years.
Starmer has announced an extra £15 billion spending on the military paid for by cuts to public spending. Our public money should be invested into schools, housing, and the NHS - not into the pockets of arms companies who kill and destroy across the world. Shameful.
🚨1,500+ weapons companies are coming to Farnborough International next month for a horrific airshow and arms fair. This arms fair brings together weapons companies, arms dealers, and government officials to make deals for war and genocide.

You might have seen this advert on buses in London... It's for Farnborough Airshow, a grotesque exhibition of weapons of war and genocide. This year, over 1,000 arms companies will exhibit including Elbit, BAE, and more genocide profiteers.
Moog, a US weapons company with sites across the UK, produces parts for Israeli M-346 aircraft used to train F-35 and F-16 fighter jets. Tell your MP: no UK parts to train genocide pilots 🔗 caat.org.uk/take-action/...
