FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has been criticised by a House of Lords peer for being"deeply discourteous and unprofessional" in failing to reply to human rights concerns.Paul Scriven, a Liberal Democrat life peer, has written to Ben Sulayem to express his concerns about both the FIA's clampdown on drivers making political statements, as well as the president's failure to respond to correspondence sent last year.
Having never received a response from Ben Sulayem, Lord Scriven has now formally expressed his annoyance at the matter. "Why do you think you can ignore parliamentarians? Do you think that concerns raised over human rights and the policies of the FIA should be above scrutiny? We wrote to you in order to raise concerns that are in the public interest, and we expect openness and transparency from the FIA.
The letter also outlined worries about the FIA's recent move to ban drivers from making political statements, something Lord Scriven felt was being aimed at certain individuals.
