India - 24 hrs to stop Syria's Merchant of Death
To Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh:
We call on you to cancel existing and future contracts with Rosoboronexport until it halts all weapons sales to Syria. Russia's Rosoboronexport is the main supplier of weapons to the Syrian regime -- weapons used to massacre thousands of people. India and the US together make up over 50% of Russian arms sales. Your threat to withdraw this lucrative source of income could save Syrian lives and stop the spiral of violence.

As the number one client to Syria’s main weapons supplier, Russia, India has huge influence. Delegates from India and the Russian weapons dealer are at an arms fair in Paris right now. If we can get the Indian government to threaten to halt all lucrative deals until the Russians stop supporting Syria's murder machine, the arms dealer could be forced to stop Syria's arms supply.
The rest of the world is struggling to find a solution to the spiral of violence in Syria, and India could play a crucial role now. Let's raise a national call for the government to speak out now. Sign the urgent petition to get the government to force Russia to stop dealing death to Syria and tell everyone -- our call will be delivered to the delegates in Paris in 24 hours!
