Dear Mr Rowell,
You ask a question to which you know the answer. I repeat for the benefit of other readers who may not know that the politician in question may be sanctioned by the USA but is not sanctioned by the UK.
For the record I met him twice & may do so again. BNoW https://n.respublicae.eu/alexjrowell/status/1679043707306115073

Alex Rowell: @DimaSadek Incidentally, the man who sued @DimaSadek is the same US-sanctioned official met by @AjaySharmaFCO, @sblhickey, @UK_FoRBEnvoy, @aliciakearns, @Baroness_Nichol & @AlfDubs in London earlier this month. I repeat my question to all of them: why meet him? https://n.respublicae.eu/alexjrowell/status/1676214852136718339
