UK Saudi diplomat 'should lose immunity'

[emad]

BBC News snip:

The Saudi government has been urged to waive the diplomatic immunity of a man who is accused of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl.
Labour MP Barbara Roche told Radio 4's Today programme police should be allowed to carry out an investigation.

The man, 41, was arrested on suspicion of assaulting the girl in west London on 26 July but was later released.

Mrs Roche said it was a "difficulty" for an accused person to be seen to "get away with" a serious crime.

Mrs Roche, MP for Hornsey and Wood Green, north London, said she understood diplomatic immunity existed to protect British diplomats in countries with less developed justice systems.
