Saudi Arabia just executed Jalal al-Labbad for crimes during the Arab Spring, when he was 15. His brother Fadel was executed in 2019. His brother Mohammed waits on death row. A chilling story about how MBS is using anti-terror laws to silence dissent: wapo.st/47Euscm

Update on #Manahel case: Prison for no crime, ban on freedom of movement—Saudi regime brutality on full display. #FreeManahel ⬇️
🚨 At today's hearing, the SCC overturned Manahel al-Otaibi's 11-year jail term but handed a new five-year one (followed by a five-year travel ban). Given the time already served, this will entail two more years of arbitrary imprisonment. Saudi authorities must #FreeManahel now.

🚨 Saudi activist Manahel al-Otaibi has been sentenced to 11 years in prison. As seen in this interview, she believed she could express her views and wear what she liked on the basis of the Crown Prince's declarations, but has been sentenced for exercising these exact freedoms.
