(Middle East Eye) – The UK will continue to export billions of pounds of weapons to Saudi Arabia after anti-arms trade campaigners lost a high-profile legal case in London on Monday. The high court ruled on Monday morning that arms sales to the oil-rich Gulf kingdom can continue after lawyers acting for Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) lost a landmark judicial review against the British government’s arms trade policy. Campaigners say they will appeal the decision.
