​The UK regularly raises human rights with the Saudi Arabian authorities. During the Crown Prince's visit to the UK, both the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary raised a broad range of issues with senior Saudi interlocutors including women's rights, universal human rights and the UK's particular concerns in the case of Raif Badawi.
