Petition to the Government of Canada
- The Government of Canada has approved the sale of General Dynamic Land Systems LAV's to Saudi Arabia;
- Many of these LAV's are equipped with 105 mm cannons;
- There are credible reports these offensive weapons systems are being used in Saudi Arabia's war of aggression against Yemen;
- Saudi Arabia's actions in Yemen are classified as war crimes (by credible human rights NGO's), and include the use of cluster munitions and the targeting of civilians, schools and places of worship;
- Saudi Arabia has illegally arrested and imprisoned human rights activists (such as Samara Badawi, Israa al-Ghomgham, and Nassima al-Sada); and
- Saudi Arabia has been accused of the horrific detention and murder of the U.S. resident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
