End relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia until Human Rights abuses are addressed and no longer perpetrated.

Additional Information

End diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia until Human Rights abuses are addressed and no longer perpetrated.

Recent abuses such as the lashing of Raif Badawi, a blogger, simply for exercising Freedom of Speech, which the United Kingdom purports to view as a fundamental liberty, and which the UN recognises.

'...the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of
speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the
common people,' - Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The beheading of a Laila Bint Abdul Muttalib Basim in Mecca, who, although convicted of her crimes, was subjected to a cruel and unusual punishment by the KSA authorities.

'Article 5. The right to freedom from torture or from cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.'

These abuses are not what the United Kingdom stands for, nor should it be abuses that it condones.
