Canada has been fairly aggressive in calling for the release of Badawi, for example, and others. When we've done that, the Saudi foreign ministry has basically called it blatant interference in the kingdom's domestic affairs.
How does Saudi Arabia react to international pressure to free women human rights defenders? Are they responsive to it, or is it just written off with those kinds of comments? Do they actually take it seriously when they start getting that kind of pressure? Can we make a difference by pressuring them?
