<p>We are very concerned about the case Ali Mohammed Al Nimr. We have raised this
case with the Saudi Arabian authorities at a senior level including by the Secretary
of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for
Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond). We will continue to follow this case closely.
The UK opposes the death penalty in all cases. Ministers, our Ambassador, and the
Embassy team frequently raise the issue of the death penalty with the Saudi authorities,
bilaterally and through the European Union.</p>
