@rbalsaud Nassima al-Sada was arrested in July 2018 for her peaceful human rights work. I fear that She has been tortured in jail. She was put in solitary confinement for a year. Even now, her only contact with the outside world is a single weekly phone call. She is denied
visits with her family and lawyer. Why doesn't Saudi Arabia present Nassima al-Saud as an example of a 21st century Saudi woman? She is someone to be admired, not persecuted! She has spent her life working to improve women's lives, and seeking the freedom for them to
take an active part in Saudi society. News reports, here in the United States, for the last few years, gave the impression that Saudi Arabia was granting women more of their rights. The example always given was the right to drive. Imagine readers shock, to learn that the women
who led the campaign seeking the very freedoms that the Saudi government was bragging about, had been imprisoned!
Nassima al-Sada is a prisoner of conscience.
Nassima al-Sada is a prisoner of conscience.
She being punished solely for peacefully seeking to increase the freedom, and guarantee the human rights of, her fellow country women. Nassima al-Sada, and all the women human rights defenders, should be immediately and unconditionally released!
