Foreign and Commonwealth Office written question – answered at on 20 September 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations he has made to his Saudi Arabian counterpart on the case of Abdulkareem al-Hawaj.
We are aware of reports of Abdulkareem al-Hawaj's death sentence being upheld. We continue to raise our opposition to the death penalty in all circumstances and in every country, including Saudi Arabia, especially for crimes other than the most serious and for juveniles, in line with the minimum standards set out in the EU Guidelines on the Death Penalty of 2008 and the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Arab Charter on Human Rights.
