We submit the following questions to the candidates standing for election at the Human Rights Council as part of the online #HRCpledging event hosted by @amnesty & @ISHRglobal
Saudi Arabia (1/2): Many peaceful citizens, incl. #RaifBadawi #AshrafFayadh & #AhmadAlShamri, languish in prison for the ‘crime’ of exercising their basic human right to free expression. If elected, will KSR end its zero-tolerance policy towards dissent or criticism? #HRCpledging
Saudi Arabia (2/2): KSA has arbitrarily detained and persecuted many women for advocating reforms to the male guardianship system. Will KSA demonstrate a true commitment to human rights by pledging to release these activists & investigate allegations of their torture?#HRCpledging

#SaudiArabia has committed numerous human rights violations. The murder of #JamalKhashoggi is by no means the only reason why the West should consider their relationship and in particular should #StopArmingSaudi #JusticeForJamal
On 17 June 2012 @raif_badawi was arrested on the charge of “insulting Islam through electronic channels”. He had a liberal discussion forum in Saudi Arabia. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, 1000 lashes & a fine. On 9 January 2015 he received the first 50 lashes. #FreeRaif
.@raif_badawi is still in prison in #SaudiArabia. His wife @miss9afi and his children live in Canada and are Canadian citizens. The family has not seen Raif for more than 6 years. @miss9afi campaigns tirelessly for his release. #FreeRaif #RoyalPardon4Raif ciluna27.wordpress.com/2016/03/10/rai…
