Shipment: Halted! Congrats to Bahrain [1]
Victory! After hundreds of calls and over 390,000 emails sent by people in Bahrain and around the world about the dangers of tear gas and the ongoing brutal policing of pro-democracy protesters, the government of South Korea has decided to deny exp [2]ort licenses [2] for a shipment of 3 million tear gas canisters to Bahrain. This would have equated to 4 canisters for each Bahraini citizen. Congratulations to our friends at Bahrain Watch [3], the Stop the Shipment campaign and the movement in Bahrain [4]!
