MP attacks Hague over review of arms sales to Arab regimes | Politics | guardian.co.uk: "In a damning report earlier this year, the Commons arms export controls committees demanded an urgent review of exports to 'authoritarian regimes worldwide'.

They referred specifically to the Mubarak and Gaddafi regimes in Egypt and Libya, to Bahrain, Syria, Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Observers said military trucks sent by the Saudis to help suppress demonstrations in Bahrain were British."

Surely we also know that many weapons used against protesters were US made; we hope the US will set up arm export controls this would also look at our arm export to Israel and thus our role into the aggressive repression of the Palestinian people which has resulted in thousands of deaths.
