A recent tweet by federal Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland calling for the release of Raif and Samar Badawi, currently being detained in Saudi Arabia, has sparked strong reactions from the Saudi government.  One response has been the Saudi Arabian government's decision to cancel the King Abdullah scholarship program which supported Saudi Arabian students studying in Canada.

Recipients of the scholarship have their flights, tuition, and accommodations paid for by the Saudi Arabian government. They also receive a monthly allowance to cover living expenses. This decision by the Saudi Arabian government leaves an estimated 20,000 students currently enrolled in Canadian post-secondary institutions and their accompanying family members uncertain about their future.
