Motion Text

That this House is appalled that a 19 year old victim of gang rape has been sentenced to 200 lashes by Qatif General Court in Saudi Arabia; notes that her sentence was doubled because she spoke to the media; further notes that after representing her Abdulrahman Al-leikeim had his attorney's licence revoked; and therefore calls upon the Foreign Secretary to make the strongest possible representations to the Saudi Arabian Government over this grotesque abuse of women's rights.
