"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."
