“Today marks a year of shame for #Saudi Arabia. A year ago, the authorities started locking up some of Saudi Arabia’s bravest women activists, instead of celebrating hand in hand steps that should have served to advance the rights of women in the country” amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
“This is also a shameful day for Saudi Arabia’s closest allies in the West, namely the USA, UK & France. Instead of prioritising business deals & arms sales, they should be intransigent...in pressuring Saudi authorities for immediate & unconditional release” of activists.
Release them all: this is an utter disgrace.
These #Saudi women’s rights activists are heroes. They should be celebrated not subjected to electric shocks, flogging, sexual assault, and waterboarding.
