What can we do? Does it help if we pressure our governments to bring this up with Saudi Authorities?

Well, the UK government certainly has a relationship with the Saudi one.

See hat Grant Shapps said just this February.

So writing to your MP would be a start.

thanks. Now we Brits abroad can vote again I'll be writing to my MP. Miriam Cates so i wonder what's she'll say.

I am also a "Brit abroad" but can still vote in the place I used to live, so will be writing to the MP there (Bim Afolami).

Awful. That poor woman.

Like the creep in Dubai who's locked up 2 of his daughters....

WTF is wrong with these men?!
