| | | Guardian Newsroom: Saudi Arabia - are we seeing the great rehabilitation? | | | | | | Saudi Arabia has been on a mission to rehabilitate its global reputation, most notably through its current engagement with the global sports and leisure industries. Riyadh has been accused of using this so-called ‘sportswashing’ to divert attention away from the country's dubious human rights record, including, most notoriously, the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, as well as its continued war in Yemen and its arms trade with the US.
Now, it has been reported that the UK has invited Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, for an official visit in late autumn. Join our panel of journalists for a livestreamed event as they discuss Saudi Arabia’s relations with the West and answer some of your questions. Guardian deputy head of international news, Devika Bhat will be talking to columnist Nesrine Malik, Saudi journalist and documentary maker Safa Al Ahmad and the Guardian diplomatic editor, Patrick Wintour. | | Tuesday 10 October , 8pm–9.15pm | | Book tickets |
