	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2024 answer text <p>We have raised the continued detention of individuals for expressing their political views, including women and women's rights defenders, with the Saudi government. The FCDO is closely monitoring both Manahel al-Otaibi and Salma al-Shehab's cases, and the British Embassy in Riyadh will continue to attempt to attend trials where possible. I, Minister for the Middle East, regularly raise individual freedom of expression cases with the Saudi authorities, including as recently as 31 January with the President of the Saudi Human Rights Commission. Saudi Arabia remains a FCDO human rights priority country, in part due to continued restrictions on freedom of expression.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 27/03/2024 17:00:14 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
