Ystrday I tweeted on coalition/contagion btwn #Saudi & Qatari feminists. No matter (Gulf) crisis, Saudi guardianship news was opportunity to renew calls for Qatari rights in new acct: @QatarFem. Today, closed due to #Qatar gov crackdown on women behind it.
Within a day, Qatari journalist @tahani_alhajri states that Qatari women behind account @QatarFem, & their families, were all summoned by #Qatar authorities for interrogation. They are fearful & closed account due to gov and it’s getting families involved.
Surprised no mention of “foreign involvement” which state used before when smearing #Saudi feminists. Treason accusation was favorite, used by apologists. Public Prosecution only references “coordinated activism” targeted “safety and stability”.
