    Default Protesters block degenerate Saudi ship from loading French armaments.

    Amid protests, Saudi ship leaves France without arms cargo

    Saudi vessel that was due to load arms sets sail without them amid protests over use of French-made weapons in Yemen.



    A Saudi vessel that was due to load weapons at a northern French port has set sail without them and headed towards Spain on Friday, a day after a rights group tried to block the cargo on humanitarian grounds.

    The Christian Action for the Abolition of Torture (ACAT) sought to block the loading of weapons onto the ship through a legal filing on Thursday, arguing the cargo contravened an international arms treaty.

    A French judge threw out their complaint but the Bahri-Yanbu moved off the coast of Le Havre shortly after.

    "If we French citizens do not act, if we don't try to stop arms sales, we will end up as accessories to this business. We do not want this. We don't want to be in this situation," said Jean-Paul Lecoq, member of France's National Assembly.

    Government officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

    That French judge should be investigated.

    ‘We won’t be complicit’: Italian dock workers refuse to load Saudi arms ship over Yemen war (VIDEO)

    Italian unions have refused to load cargo onto a Saudi ship carrying weapons, in protest against Riyadh’s war on Yemen. The dock workers have gone on strike, refusing to work until the ship leaves port in Genoa.
    While the Saudi Arabian ship, the Bahri-Yanbu, was expected to leave for Jeddah by the end end of the day, it seems the delivery might end up being rather late. After unsuccessful attempts to have the ship barred from docking in Italy altogether, it was greeted by banners and a protests as it arrived in port Monday.

    Good boys and gals. Unionism has always fought for peace. That's why our corrupt governments don't like unions. They don't view peace as being profitable.

    Amid outcry over Yemen war, Saudi ship leaves France without arms cargo


    John Irish, Benoit Tessier

    PARIS/LE HAVRE (Reuters) - A Saudi vessel that had been due to load weapons at a northern French port on Friday set sail without them and headed for Spain, a day after a rights group tried to block the cargo on humanitarian grounds.

    French rights group ACAT argued in a legal challenge on Thursday that the consignment contravened a U.N. treaty because the arms might be used against civilians in Yemen.

    A French judge threw out that legal challenge but the Bahri-Yanbu set course for Santander shortly after minus the weapons, officials said and ship-tracking data showed.

    The saga is an embarrassment for President Emmanuel Macron, who on Thursday defended arms sales to Saudi Arabia....

    Riyadh leads the pro-government military coalition in the four-year civil war that has devastated Yemen, killed tens of thousands and left much of the population on the brink of famine...

    Hmmm. No need to go over the top, old chap. Victory for the rule of law is quite sufficient.
