FYI for non saudis: you can be charged with terrorism for “apostasy”, or “witchcraft”, or “endangering the status quo” (criticizing or revolting against the royal family in any way). So high chance that many of the 45 executed for terrorism aren’t even terrorists.

Oil truly is a curse.

Biden, didn’t you said that you will support the rebels in Syria if they respect human rights? So why are you still an ally to Saudi Arabia?

Good to note when this overgrown child gets his turn to be regime changed.

What are the chances the Saudis have a torture prison just like that one in Syria?

fxomt@lemm.ee on 12 Dec 06:45 next collapse

We have no centralized prison where all the torture happens there. Instead, all of our prisons are torturous. We even have a place in Riyadh called Al-deerah square, or lovingly referred to by the locals as Chop Chop square, where we behead people publicly. And as i said in another comment, “terrorism” charges can be as mild as leaving the religion.

Many such cases of people being tortured or even killed in different prisons: Abdullah al Hamid, Loujain al Hathloul, Nimr al Nimr, Ali Mohammed Baqir al Nimr, Dawoud al Marhoon.

I’m kind of surprised that you still have any room for doubt in that regard.
