Social Watch criticises Czech arms exports to Egypt

The Czech Republic exported arms and military equipment to unstable regions and authoritarian countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia in 2016, Tomas Tozicka, head of the Czech branch of the Social Watch organisation, told journalists on Thursday. "One of the key problems is that arms are very easily available for the warring parties," he said, adding that there are nearly two dozen conflicts in which more and more people are getting killed.
