Hanan Mohamed had sustained multiple shrapnel injuries to both legs, as well as her right arm. She was relatively lucky; three of her relatives were killed when her home in the Garara area was hit by several projectiles which she believes to be Grad rockets, on 28 March. Hanan told Amnesty International that she had just finished her afternoon prayer, when she heard an explosion.

Misratah: the spiralling human cost in a city under fire

Charlotte_K — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 12:31:58 +0100

Here in Misratah, Libya’s third city, we have just experienced four more days of relentless shelling by Colonel al-Gaddafi’s forces. In just two of the residential neighbourhoods I have been able to visit in the past four days – Qasr Ahmad in the east of the city and Zawia al-Mahjoub in the west – hundreds of rockets and mortar shells have rained down, literally all over the place. I have lost count of how many homes I’ve seen that have been hit in these clearly indiscriminate attacks.

Campaign Against Arms Trade: Stop Exporting Arms to Repressive Regimes

Naomi Pattirane — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 17:47:21 +0100

Armed conflict has a devastating impact on the lives of millions of people around the world. Arms exporters help prolong violent conflict, profiting from the human tragedy it brings. Yet the UK government continues to grant export licenses to countries involved in armed conflict and to countries classified as being 'of concern' in the government's own human rights report. These sales are supported and promoted by a taxpayer funded arms sales unit, the UKTI Defence & Security Organisation (UKTI DSO). CAAT is calling for the closure of UKTI DSO and an end to its functions.

Mark Mardell's America: Armed and ready to shop

Matt Slavic, sitting next to his little granddaughter, observes that outside the United Nations is a sculpture of a gun, its barrel twisted in a knot. "The Second Amendment gives teeth to the rest of the constitution, it keeps tyranny at bay. I do feel it is under threat, not just from within the USA but from the UN - their small arms treaty would restrict hand gun ownership in the United States."
