Al Yamanah Update

I had never previously heard of The Corner House. It has today succeeded in challenging the government's decision to drop the investigation into the Al Yamanah arms contract on the grounds that failure to do so would result in Saudi Arabia refusing to cooperate with the UK in anti-terror activity. Read more here. The Corner House challenged the govt. under the OECD's Anti-Bribery Convention, which the UK signed in 1997.

I wish them well.
