Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations he made on the case of Raif Badawi during his discussions with the Saudi Arabian Minister for Foreign Affairs on 9 October 2018.

We regularly raise human rights concerns with the Saudi authorities, including at senior level. The British Government remains extremely concerned about the case of Raif Badawi. We understand the case is still under consideration in the Saudi Supreme Court.
