Human rights in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy in which the king holds all legislative, executive, and judicial power. The concentration of authority in the monarchy has drawn international criticism for restrictions on political and civil liberties. Although the government has introduced social reforms in recent years, significant challenges remain regarding freedoms of expression, assembly, and political participation. The government is consistently ranked among the lowest-scoring countries in Freedom House's annual survey of political and civil rights. In 2023, it was ranked by the Varieties of Democracy Institute as the world's most authoritarian regime. Saudi Arabia has for more than a decade retained the public relations firm Qorvis MSLGroup, a U.S. subsidiary of Publicis Groupe, to improve its international image. Human rights groups have accused the firm of helping the government whitewash its human rights record.
