Good evening everyone. My name is David Mepham and I am the UK Director of Human Rights Watch. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the first Human Rights Watch parliamentary reception.

While events in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria and Bahrain have provoked huge media and political interest here in the UK, there has been much less focus on the situation in Saudi Arabia. This seminar will look at the human rights challenges within Saudi Arabia, as well as the response of the Saudis to popular uprisings across the region.

Honoring those who speak out where there is silence
On November 9, we will honour Hossam Bahgat from Egypt and Elena Milashina from Russia, for their unwavering, fearless commitment to human rights. Please join Human Rights Watch as we present them with our highest honour, The Alison Des Forges Award for Extraordinary Activism.
