Sweden tore up a decade-long arms agreement with Saudi Arabia after the Saudis blocked the Swedish foreign minister from speaking about human rights to a summit of Arab leaders.

According to The Guardian, the European Union expressed regret on 10 March 2015 that Sweden’s minister had been silenced due to her stance on human rights.
