Update: The German government has denied issuing the submarine export license and seems to be contradicting the company. Lawyers continue to challenge German arms exports to Israel.

Scoop: Germany has apparently issued an export license for a submarine to Israel.
Today, the parent company of TKMS, supplier of corvettes and submarines to Israel, held its AGM and told shareholders that an export license for a submarine ordered by Israel has been issued. 1/6
A doctor kidnapped from a besieged hospital, tortured and held without charge for over 500 days, would surely be called a HOSTAGE.

I'd never condone violence against a police officer - this is utterly dishonest.
The jury weren't judging them on a terrorism offence. This is an awful sleight of hand.
The creeping encroachment of terror laws onto protest & removal of our juries should worry all of us.
There's a Genocide happening in Gaza.
Our Government is arresting pensioners for holding cardboard signs that say "I support Palestine Action."
And Andy Burnham - labours apparent last hope - won't even acknowledge what's really happening.
🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists
Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case.
It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life.
The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them.
Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future.
The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end.
Together we must continue calling out the abuse of power and fighting for our right to protest.

We do not need to spend more money on bombs and bullets.
We need to spend more on housing, schools and our NHS instead.
A roof over your head. Enough food to feed your children. A public health service you can rely on in your time of need.
That is what real security means.
John Healey and NATO think we're stupid and don't realize that instead of looking at actual defence needs, they're just setting an arbitrary spending target.
I'm sure arms companies are more than happy to match any sky-high spending target in their pricing.

Corruption in the arms trade doesn't stop with weapons procurement.
Maintenance, servicing and sustainment contracts worth millions are also vulnerable to bribery, fraud and abuse. 👇
