A trial collapsed earlier this week because the accused was part of a Syrian rebel group that was probably being armed by the British. This weapons supply should not be happening. Non-lethal arms (whatever they are) is allowed. Lethal arms? NO!!
“Given that there is a reasonable basis for believing that the British were themselves involved in the supply of arms, if that’s so, it would be an utter hypocrisy to prosecute someone who has been involved in the armed resistance.”

If Great Britain is supplying arms to Syrian rebels then it is happening without the permission of Parliament and it would therefore be a rogue faction running the supply, I think with the acquiescence of Hague and Hammond, who I believe must be fully aware of the facilitation of the rise of Islamic State.
