Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what representations he has made to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman on the release of (a) Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, (b) Prince Turki bin Abdullah and (c) other senior political figures detained without charge.

We will continue to monitor the cases of those detained in Saudi Arabia. The UK signed a statement at the UN Human Rights Council on 15 September, which called for the release of all political detainees. We raise concerns about individual cases regularly, using a range of Ministerial and diplomatic channels, including our Embassy in Riyadh.
