LRCND at UK Arms Export to Saudi Arabia

LRCND Chair Carol Turner, far right.

Carol Turner, spoke on behalf of CND at a press conference on UK arms export to Saudi Arabia last month. Here is an extract of what she said:

"The sale of UK arms to Saudi Arabia and other regimes with dubious human rights records not only directly contributes to the worsening situation in Yemen, it is an indirect contributor to some of the worst dangers faced by the people of Britain.

CND opposes all weapons of mass and indiscriminate destruction. We believe that human rights must be protected everywhere, and that conflicts even those as difficult as that in Yemen are best solved by political dialogue and negotiation. We are pleased to stand with you today, and demand an end of UK arms exports to Saudi Arabia."

LRCND Statement on Finsbury Park Mosque Terror Attack

London CND was shocked to learn of the despicable terror attack on Finsbury Park Mosque which has left one person dead and a number injured. We wish to express our sincere condolences to their families and friends, and to all those for whom the Mosque is both a community centre and place of worship.

We appreciate past opportunities we have had to work the Finsbury Park Mosque to promote peace and understanding, and look forward to doing so again in future.

We condemn the rising number of attacks on Muslim communities across Britain and stand together with our sisters and brothers in opposing the growth of Islamophobia.
