I received this letter from Amnesty International

Dear Mohammad,

You might have seen it in your newsfeed — devastating media reports of a Saudi Arabia-led Coalition airstrike in Yemen that hit a bus carrying children from a summer camp. Media reports state that a nearby hospital said they received 29 bodies of "mainly children" younger than 15.

What you may not know is that Australia is supplying military exports to both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — two countries committing war crimes in Yemen — and Defence Industry Minister, Christopher Pyne, has plans to expand this arms trade. 

Tell Minister Christopher Pyne to immediately stop the flow of arms to members of the Saudi Arabia-led Coalition for use in Yemen.

We don’t hear about it much, but Yemen is enduring one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. Last week’s tragedy is the latest in a string of Coalition airstrikes which have indiscriminately killed civilians and targeted infrastructure like hospitals and markets. 

Countries like Germany, Norway and Belgium have already cut off arms supplies to Saudi Arabia because of human rights violations in Yemen. It’s time for Australia to do the same. Supplying arms that are being used to kill civilians, including children, is simply indefensible.

Please, take a moment now to tell Minister Pyne to stop supplying military exports to the Saudi Arabia-led Coalition, before more civilians are injured and killed. 

It’s been called the “forgotten war”, but it’s time for Australians everywhere to pay attention. Together, we can influence our Government to not only stop arming Saudi Arabia-led Coalition forces, but also to use its power as an ally and call for full compliance with international humanitarian law.
