Barry wrote to Liz Truss, the Secretary of State for International Trade and called on her to open an urgent investigation to establish whether any of the equipment supplied to the USA by the UK has been misused in the internal repression of the American civilian population.
Until the conclusion of such an investigation, Barry believes there is a moral and legal obligation to immediately suspend the export licenses of small arms, rubber bullets, tear gas and all other equipment which could be used for internal repression in the USA.
