Rejected petition Petition the Saudi Arabian Government with immediate effect.

Increasingly, on an almost day to day basis we hear that women who have suffered the indignity of rape are further brutally punished by either lashes, imprisonment or both.

More details

The UK government must object in the strongest terms possible to the Saudi Arabian Authorities that these further heinous acts against women who have already been brutalised must stop or the UK government will downgrade relations with Saudi Arabia until it stops.
