Introduce a trade embargo on Saudi Arabia
The Saudi state is notorious for its unjust and frankly disgusting treatment of women and LGBT people. It also massively restricts the civil liberties of its entire population. There is also evidence that suggests Saudi donors sponsor terrorism. We cannot support governments of this sort.
From gov.uk:
"It’s illegal for women to drive."
"Homosexual acts and extra-marital sexual relations, including adultery, are illegal and can be subject to severe penalties."
"The Saudi legal system differs in many ways from the UK. Suspects can be held without charge"
A series of leaks from the then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails suggested that Saudi donors fund extremism.
A number of mosques found to be preaching extremist Wahhabism have been said to be linked to Saudi organisations.
