answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2023 answer text <p>We are aware of reports that Mohammed al Roken was arrested in the United Arab Emirates in 2012 and remains in detention. The UK urges all countries to uphold their international human rights obligations and believes that the best approach is to promote and defend universal freedoms. The strength of the UK-UAE relationship means we can discuss issues such as respect for the right to peaceful protest and assembly, the rule of law, freedom of speech and of the press, in a frank and open way. Where the UK has cause for concern, we raise these concerns including at senior level, most recently with the UAE, Director Human Rights. We will continue to seek opportunities to do so at official and Ministerial level.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 23/01/2023 17:39:57 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
