Saudi Arabia Expels Canadas Ambassador, Freezes Trade over Blatant Interference
The Saudi foreign ministry made the announcement in a series of Tweets, adding it had given the Canadian ambassador just 24 hours to leave the country while at the same time recalling its own envoy in Canada.
It referred to last weeks statement by the Canadian foreign ministry, which urged Riyadh to immediately release civil society and womens rights activists.
Among those recently arrested is Samar Badawi, whose brother Raif Badawi was arrested in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and later sentenced to 1,000 lashes and 10 years in jail for criticizing clerics. His wife, Ensaf Haidar, is now living in Canada.
