This is disgraceful and unconscionable. Shame on @MIT and all US universities who enable the absolute monarchy of #Saudi Arabia. Ruinuous war in #Yemen, murder of a journalist, torture of women’s rights activists, jails full of dissidents not bad enough? h/t @david_batty
“American universities' ties with #Saudi Arabia-always controversial-are coming under more scrutiny. A look at the multimillion-dollar connections between SA & leading American universities-and the questions being raised about what the Saudis are getting.” insidehighered.com/news/2018/11/0…
Last Friday I spoke at @MIT @medialab - not knowing that Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman had visited campus and the lab during his US visit in March. In my talk I condemned MBS & regime for Yemen war,Khashoggi murder, torture of feminists & beheading of Indonesian domestic worker
I also condemned Trump, plenty, and the multiple ways US administrations (Trump is just the latest) sell out people in the kingdom in return for oil and arms deals. Stop enabling a tyrannical and corrup regime. (And yes, I say the same about the Egyptian regime.)
I post this every day. I have long called the way women are treated in #Saudi Arabia as gender apartheid. Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman has detained women’s rights activists who been subjected to torture and sexual assault
