Saudi Arabia’s state airline is suspending flights to and from Toronto, the latest in a series of measures announced by the kingdom in its diplomatic dispute with Canada.
The move came hours after Riyadh expelled the Canadian ambassador over alleged interference in Saudi domestic affairs after Ottawa's foreign ministry rebuked Saudi Arabia for jailing human rights activists.
Canadian minister of foreign affairs Chrystia Freeland stated Canada will always stand up for human rights in Canada and around the world, and women's rights are human rights.
