27 February 2022 - Labour Friends of Yemen in West Midlands took part in the by-election campaign with Labour candidate Paulette Hamilton for Birmingham Erdington.
In the campaign, LFY’s members met with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, Shadow Secretary of State for International Development Preet Gill and the Labour MP for Walsall South Valerie Vaz.
They discussed the potential coming work about Yemen including having international pressure on all Yemeni parties to come to peaceful dialogue, holding all parties responsible especially those who have committed, and still commit, serious violations of human rights and the international humanitarian law. Leaders of our party have expressed interest in hearing more from LFY regarding Yemen issues, and future meetings have been agreed.
