Dear Swiss Ministry of Foregin Affairs,
On Monday 23 September, Australia led 23 members states at the United Nations in a statement critising the Saudi Kingdom for their continued human rights abuses and the torture and imprisionment of Saudi Women Human Rights Defenders.
However I am disappointed to see that the Swiss government has not signed on to that statement nor did you sign on to the Statement Iceland led in March 2019, continuing non-action on the part of Switzerland in the face of a human rights crisis in Saudi Arabia. Has your commitment to Human Rights and Women’s Rights changed? I encourage the foreign ministry to reconsider your position and stand on the right side of history and support the call in demanding human rights in Saudi Arabia.
Many thanks,
{YOUR NAME}
