Britain training armed forces of regimes on its own human rights watchlist
British soldiers are training troops for regimes on the UK’s own human rights watchlist, including authoritarian states such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Burma and Bahrain.
Information released by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) shows that since 2014 UK military personnel have given training to 16 countries whose record on human rights is dubious to say the least.
Andrew Smith of Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) told the Independent the fact the states in question are on the list “is a sign of how oppressive they are.”
“The UK military should not be colluding with or legitimising human rights abusers,” he said.

Of course, it isn't ONLY the sneaky Brits who support human rights abusers. But that's not the topic under discussion.
