	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2020 answer text <p>Our close relationship with Saudi Arabia allows us to raise our concerns about human rights, including on human rights defenders, in private and in public. We have expressed significant concerns about reports of continuing arrests and arbitrary detentions of human rights defenders in Saudi Arabia, including women's rights activists. We have also expressed concern over lack of legal representation for the women's rights defenders, the use of solitary confinement, and pressed for due process. The UK signed a statement at the UN Human Rights Council on 15 September noting our concerns in Saudi Arabia and calling for the release of all political detainees. We continue to raise concerns at all levels and we are monitoring the ongoing situation closely.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 14/10/2020 14:49:08 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
