(THREAD) Saudi Arabia appointed a new female ambassador : @amalalmoallimi. Amal visited my sister @LoujainHathloul in prison. She is aware of the torture, she noticed it and decided to hide it and to leave my sister in prison without any protection.
On the 26 th of Nov2018, the Saudi Human rights comm.@HRCSaudi, a government body, visited Loujain in prison. Amal AlMoalimi was part of the commission. The visit was organized when we, as sibilings of Loujain, started talking publicly about the torture Loujain endured in prison.

Saudi Foreign Minister @adelaljubair has told the BBC my sister @LoujainHathloul fate will be decided by the Saudi courts, and “our judiciary is independent”. He makes claims in the interview that I know to be untrue, and that raise more questions than answers. (THREAD)👇🏾
First, when asked what Saudi Arabia will tell world leaders at this weekend’s virtual #G20 summit when they raise the issue of @LoujainHathloul and the other jailed women’s rights activists, he says “we have a legal system, we have laws, we implement our laws”.

Pls take 2 min of your time to read this thread :
The Saudi ambassador to the UK has made the suggestion that Loujain& other women activists could be released from jail as an act of royal “clemency” to help the kingdom’s international reputation ahead of the #G20 summit. 1/..
Amb. Khalid bin Bandar’s remarks to the British Guardian newspaper confirm that his government is more concerned with its international reputation and foreign investment than with the rule of law, justice and human rights, let alone “women’s empowerment”.
