CAAT (Campaign Against Arms Trade) is trying to put a stop to this. They've already been to court once, which inexplicably (i.e. because capitalism) found that continuing to arm a regime that's responsible for thousands of civilian deaths, bombing hospitals, and blockading ports and thereby preventing humanitarian aid, is "legal". CAAT are raising money to fund an appeal: case page on CrowdJustice (CrowdJustice is a crowdfunding site specifically for court cases).
