Kingdom`s Human Rights Report discussed

Geneva, February 07, SPA -- The Vice-President of the Saudi Human
Rights Commission Zeid Al-Hussein has delivered a speech during the
fourth session of the Human Rights Council’s Universal Periodic
Review Working Group which reviewed the Kingdom's report on human
rights.

Al-Hussein said that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is not only an
Islamic state, but it is also the cradle of Islam and its
civilization, the land of the Two Holy Mosques and the destination of
Muslims around the world. Therefore, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has
to take care of Islam, perform its rituals and serve its sanctities.

From this perspective, the universal periodic review is in line with
the guidance of Islam. The national report was prepared in accordance
with Universal Periodic Review (UPR) guidelines, Al-Hussein added.
