Stop the UK from sending weapons to Syrian rebels
We demand that the UK government does not provide weapons to the Syrian rebels.
Why is this important?
We believe that arming the rebels will not end the conflict in Syria or contribute to that end. Further we believe that sending weapons to the rebels could lead to the escalation of the violence in Syria and the wider Middle East region.

I have spent a lot of time in Syria and seen from personal experience the reality of the conflict. This is an extract of an interview I did in the UK about arming Syrian rebels... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=memHGnG2DJI
