UK and brutal regimes

From a reader:  "
"Britain is selling millions of pounds worth of small arms and ammunition to Sri Lanka despite the country's dire human rights record, The Independent can disclose today."

"Britain is trying to boost defence equipment sales to Libya by sending a Royal Navy warship to Tripoli to act as a floating shop window for security firms, amid concern in Whitehall that France and Italy are cashing in on the fall of Muammar Gaddafi."
