​We are unaware of any British national currently facing the death penalty in Saudi Arabia. We are made aware when a British national requires consular assistance only when notified by the authorities or by family members. In his recent meeting with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, the Foreign Secretary raised human rights in Saudi Arabia.
