@NoSaudiToon held a silent protest outside SJP in solidarity with these young men on death row, some of who were arrested and charged when they were children and tortured into making ‘confessions.’
Saudi Arabia supposedly abolished the death penalty for child defendants. They announced this three years ago – in April 2020 – and they’ve repeated this claim many times since. So, why are these young men still in prison cells at risk of the death penalty?

@trippier2 has shown he has a social conscience. @alanshearer too. The vast majority of #NUFCFans DO NOT go along with the gross human rights abuses committed on a daily basis by the 80% owners.
Not is the time to show it!

"The joy on Al-Rumayyan’s face was evident. This was a new kingdom, one outside the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where he serves as right-hand man to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, one of the world’s most powerful and controversial rulers."
“He is the technocrat given the responsibility of putting Bin Salman’s vision into practice,” says one Saudi-based expert, speaking anonymously for his own security. “But remember, if he doesn’t deliver, Bin Salman is not going to blame himself.”
Thanks for the new follows!

The recent @Reprieve report on the death penalty in Saudi Arabia lays out in stark detail many reasons why #EddieHowe#NUFC players #NUFCFans should be speaking out on the issue before the #CarabaoCupFinal
THREAD
The rate of executions in Saudi Arabia has almost doubled since King Salman and his son Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) came to power in 2015, a new report reveals. They have presided over more than 1,000 executions.
Reprieve and the European Saudi Organisation for Human Rights (ESOHR) studied execution data from 2010 onwards, verifying official announcements with open-source investigation and casework, plus interviews with lawyers, activists and family members where possible.
