Saudi Arabia executes 37 people in a day Archived Message Posted by Raskolnikov on April 26, 2019, 7:10 pm I guess all that pressure after they murdered Kashogi really worried them. https://reprieve.org.uk/press/saudi-arabia-executes-37-people-in-a-single-day-including-three-juveniles/ Buried away, deep in the World->Middle East section the fraud has some British reaction, and as you would expect it's all out of the side of their mouth: https://www.dumptheguardian.com/world/2019/apr/24/uk-condemns-saudi-arabia-over-repulsive-mass-executions The Foreign Office minister Sir Alan Duncan, answering an urgent question in the Commons, spurned the usual diplomatic niceties, saying the mass executions were “a deeply backward step which we deplore”. He added it was “deplorable and totally unacceptable” that at least one of those executed had been a minor at the time of the arrest. That's at least three of them that were minors at the time of their arrest actually Alan. Good to see you are on the ball. He highlighted reports that one of those executed was displayed on a cross, saying that anyone in the House, just two days after Easter, would find “more repulsive than anything we could picture”. Duncan said: “The broader picture does give growing cause for concern if you look at those executed – the number, the Shia, the minors, those whose crimes we do not know, the Khashoggi incident, we will be very robust in the representations we make in the embassy and at a minister to minister level. It is very important that the regime in Saudi Arabia appreciates that world opinion can only get louder in its condemnation.” Well it could hardly get quieter given how little you give a toss. But he resisted cross-party calls from MPs, including Conservatives, for a fundamental review of Britain’s relations with Saudi Arabia. “The UK had to be aware of the entire Gulf and the dangers around it,” he said. “There is a moral dilemma here. There is deep murkiness here that we do not like.” He also equivocated on whether Britain would continue to support Saudi Arabia sitting on the UN human rights council. Ahhh but actual action? Er no, I don't think so. That would be so unpleasant for everyone don't you think? Let's just stick to empty words. Their moral cupboard is bare.
