Cluster Munition Use in Yemen by Saudi-led Coalition

We-Can-Stop-Cluster-Bombs180x_432x432On December 6, the Saudi-led coalition fired Brazilian-made rockets 

containing cluster munitions in Saada, close to two schools. There were
at least 8 civilian casualties- 2 people were killed and 6 others were
injured, including a child, resulting from the attack.

Sadly, the Saudi-led coalition continues to show utter disregard for 
human life in Yemen– we are asking that the coalition cease the use of
all types of cluster munitions. We also are asking Brazil to look into
the unlawful use of Brazilian-made weapons. Join us in condemning                                                          this most recent use of cluster munitions!
