Saudi Arabia remains a Foreign & Commonwealth Office human rights priority country. The UK’s recent Universal Periodic Review statement sets out clearly the UK’s position on human rights in Saudi Arabia. We raise our concerns with the Saudi Arabian authorities using a range of Ministerial and diplomatic channels of communication.
