<p>The British government regularly raises its human rights concerns with the Saudi
Arabian authorities at the highest levels through Ministers, our Ambassador, and the
Embassy team in Riyadh.</p><p>Saudi Arabia remains a Foreign & Commonwealth Office
country of concern because of the human rights situation in the country, particularly
on the use of the death penalty, restricted access to justice, restrictions on women’s
rights, as well as on freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and freedom of religion
or belief. We regularly make our views well known including through the UN Universal
Periodic Review process and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s annual Human Rights
and Democracy Report.</p>
