ISH Panel: 'Profiting from Repression' | Osamah Al Fakih

Our It Starts Here Conference returned for another year - this time revamped (and digital)!

We were excited to continue our jam-packed Saturday programme with our second panel of the day.

Every year the UK Government authorises the sale of arms to well over 100 countries across the globe. Find out more about how the UK arms trade is supporting authoritarianism and repression around the world, and hear from those resisting and creating alternatives.

The panel was moderated by Sarah Waldron, Public Campaigns Co-ordinator at Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT).
