🇸🇦 🇨🇦 Why is Saudi Arabia angry at Canada? | Inside Story
Saudi Arabia considers Canada's comments on human rights in the kingdom, an interference in its affairs that require what it calls a "sharp response".
It has expelled the Canadian ambassador and recalled its envoy from Ottawa.
Its state-owned airline has suspended direct flights to Toronto. And the government says it will end trade and investment ties.
It all began with a tweet from Canada's Foreign Affairs ministry stating concerns over Saudi Arabia's arrest of rights activists and demanding their immediate release.
One of those activists mentioned in that tweet is Samar Badawi.
A relative of Canadian citizens, Badawi and fellow activist Nassima al-Sadah were arrested last month.
Badawi is the recipient of the 2012 International Women of Courage Award; who's known for challenging Saudi Arabia's male guardianship system.
But is international criticism enough to improve human rights in the Kingdom?
Presenter: Mohammed Jamjoom
Guests
Rothna Begum - Senior researcher at Human Rights Watch.
