Conference delegates signed postcards to Tory Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, featuring the cases of Sondos Reda Abu-Bakr and Shaimaa al-Sabbagh, who were shot dead during street protests in January this year, and calling for an end to arms sales to Egypt.

We have teamed up with Union Solidarity International to create a digital version of the campaign on the USi website. Click on the link below to sign a statement and tweet out your protest to Hammond.

What you can do:

• Go to the USi website to sign the postcard online
• Contact us if your union branch can support the campaign through a donation for printing costs
