Stop the War on Yemen - Stop Arming Saudi
Arabia
The government's decision at the start of July to resume arm sales to Saudi Arabia is nothing short of horrifying. Against all the evidence of war crimes by the Saudi-led coalition, a Court of Appeal ruling and a global pandemic which is taking hold in Yemen,
the Tories see fit to continue allowing the sales of billions of pounds worth of arms to one of the most autocratic regimes on earth. The decision completely and utterly exposes the hypocrisy at the heart of Britain's foreign policy.

2020 will mark 75 years since the atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, killing an estimated 135,000 people. Stop the War will be marking the occasion with a special performance from jazz revolutionary
Shabaka Hutchings.
Hutchings, a saxophonist and bandleader (Sons of Kemet, The Comet is Coming and Shabaka & the Ancestors), has created a new composition in response to the devastating events which will be performed exclusively live across Stop the War’s social media platforms.
You do not want to miss this unique performance commemorating one of humanity’s darkest moments.
