Saudi Arabia and Sweden are in a diplomatic row following criticism of the oil kingdom’s record on human rights. Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallström was due to address the Arab League in Cairo, but the Saudi government blocked the move, citing “Sweden’s criticism and statements … about human rights and democracy.” Wallström had previously called out the Saudi “dictatorship” for violating women’s rights and for the flogging of blogger Raif Badawi. Saudi Arabia has recalled its ambassador from Stockholm, while Sweden says it will cancel a military cooperation agreement.
