Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya and the Middle East.
Libya and the Middle East
The Foreign Secretary obviously has a huge area of responsibility, but I am very surprised that in his statement he said very little about the crying need for human rights and justice in Saudi Arabia, and nothing about the ongoing crisis in Bahrain. The contagion throughout north Africa of the thirst for democracy, liberty and human rights is universal, and the Government should recognise it as such. It is actually more important than selling arms.
