サウジアラビア,カナダ大使を国外退去処分,更にカナダからの兵器購入禁止他制裁措置示唆

サウジアラビア、カナダ大使追放＝人権活動家釈放要求に激怒



【リヤドＡＦＰ時事】サウジアラビア外務省は６日、カナダが「公然と内政に干渉した」と批判し、駐サウジ・カナダ大使の追放と、駐カナダ・サウジ大使の召還を発表した。カナダ外務省は３日、サウジで女性や人権活動家の逮捕が続いていることに「深い懸念」を表明。「直ちに釈放するよう求める」と訴えていた。
サウジ外務省は「『直ちに釈放せよ』という物言いは極めて嘆かわしく、非難に値し、受け入れ難い」と指摘。「新規の貿易も投資も凍結し、さらに（対抗）措置を取る権利も維持する」と強調した。米国の中東専門家は「ムハンマド皇太子率いる今のサウジ内政への批判は絶対に許さないという姿勢の表れ」と分析している。（2018/08/06-16:49）

Saudi Arabia freezes new trade with Canada for urging activists' release

RIYADH/OTTAWA (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia froze new trade and investment with Canada and expelled the Canadian ambassador, in a stern gesture of retaliation after Ottawa urged it to free arrested civil society activists.
The sudden sharp response to criticism shows the limits of reforms by Saudi Arabia’s 32-year-old Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who runs its day-to-day government. He has launched a campaign of social and economic change, but has not eased the absolute monarchy’s total ban on political activism.
In recent months Saudi Arabia has lifted a ban on women driving, but it has also arrested activists, including more than a dozen high profile campaigners for women’s rights.

Riyadh recalled its own ambassador from Canada and gave the Canadian ambassador 24 hours to leave, a Saudi foreign ministry statement said late on Sunday. It retained “its rights to take further action”, it added.
The announcement, carried on the official Saudi Press Agency caught diplomats in Riyadh off guard. Both the Saudi and Canadian ambassadors were away on leave when it was made.
It was not immediately clear what effect, if any, the ban on new trade would have on existing annual Saudi-Canadian trade of nearly $4 billion and on a $13 billion defense contract.
A spokeswoman for the Canadian Foreign Ministry said Canada was “seriously concerned” about Saudi Arabia’s decision, but standing its ground on human rights comments.
“Canada will always stand up for the protection of human rights, very much including women’s rights, and freedom of expression around the world,” said spokeswoman Marie-Pier Baril.
On Friday, Canada had expressed concern over the arrests of activists in Saudi Arabia, including prominent women’s rights campaigner Samar Badawi.
“We urge the Saudi authorities to immediately release them and all other peaceful human rights activists,” Global Affairs Canada said on its Twitter feed.
Riyadh said that amounted to “a blatant interference in the Kingdom’s domestic affairs, against basic international norms and all international protocols”.
“It is quite unfortunate to see the phrase ‘immediate release’ in the Canadian statement, which is a reprehensible and unacceptable use of language between sovereign states.”
The kingdom will suspend educational exchange programs with Canada and move Saudi scholarship recipients to other countries, Saudi-owned Al Arabiya reported on Monday. Neighbors and allies Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates said they stood with Riyadh, although they did not announce similar measures.
