Riyadh, Jumada I 17, 1436, March 08, 2015, SPA -- An official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expresses its extreme surprise and disapproval of what have been raised by some media about the case of Citizen Raef Mohammed Badawi and the sentence issued against him. As the Kingdom regrets that these media attack it and its judiciary, it stresses at the same time that it rejects any form of interference in its internal affairs and any impingement on its sovereignty right or the independence and impartiality of its judiciary as judges have absolute powers in their rulings; affirming that that all cases under review before courts are dealt with without distinction or exception. The source added that the Kingdom does not accept in any case to be attacked in the name of Human Rights; especially as its constitution is based on the Islamic Sharia which ensures for the human being his rights and preserves his life, property, honor, and dignity. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been one of the first States to support human rights and respects all international conventions in compatible with the Islamic Sharia. In spite of these obvious efforts to people, some international quarters and some media have regrettably emptied human rights principles from their sublime implications, drifted into the attempt to politicize or exploit them in attacking the States' sovereign rights under standards that can only be described as selective and duplicate to serve political goals, which is a matter that the Kingdom does neither allow nor accept absolutely. --SPA 12:21 LOCAL TIME 09:21 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
