Spanish activists protest against Saudi ship suspected of carrying US-made weapons for Yemeni conflict
Activists in Spain protest against the Saudi ship, Bahri Abha, which is suspected of carrying US-made weapons for use in the Yemen war.

ANTI-WAR campaigners at a Spanish port today protested against the presence of a Saudi cargo ship which is suspected of carrying US and Canadian-manufactured weapons for use in the horrific war on Yemen.

The Bahri Abha ship arrived early today morning from the US into the eastern Spanish port of Sagunto.

The Control Arms Coalition staged a demonstration at the port and demanded that the Spanish government stop the ship from loading any weapons likely to be used by the Saudi government in its Western-backed war on Yemen.
