#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

I also want to mention @IsraaAlGhomgham. She is first female human rights activist to face a possible death penalty for non-violent protest in Saudi Arabia and she is due to appear in the country's secretive anti-terrorism court on 28 October. #SaveIsraa cbsnews.com/news/saudi-ara…

There are many more human rights activists who have been punished and harassed for their peaceful human rights activism. @hrw has a good overview on their #140Characters website features.hrw.org/features/HRW_2…
And then there is the war in Yemen which began on 25 March 2015. It is a humanitarian crisis with 22.2 million in need of assistance and 8.4 million people severely food insecure. Thousands civilians were killed and many are in prisoned. #StopArmingSaudi ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/…
You see from my tweets that the murder of #JamalKashoggi is a gruesome human rights violations, but it is by no means the only case. Therefore join me and lobby your government to #StopArmingSaudi #JusticeForJamal #FreeSaudiActivists and end the war in Yemen.
