Human rights groups to join legal challenge on Britain's arms sales to Israel
THREE leading rights groups have joined a legal bid to halt British arms sales to Israel after the High Court gave the go-ahead.
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Oxfam will now add their weight to the ongoing court challenge by Palestinian human rights organisation al-Haq and the Global Legal Action Network (Glan).
The group are calling on High Court to order the Business and Trade Secretary, currently Kemi Badenoch, to suspend all licences to export weapons and military equipment to Israel and to stop issuing new ones.
