Trump said he will support Saudi dictatorship because he likes their money and he doesn’t care about human rights. Start there, with the people who enable this dictatorship.

Dictators and religions representing values of nazis also act like it. Oh wonder.

I mean seeing what Arab female singers wore to the Billboard Arabia Music Awards in Riyadh tonight and inviting someone like Magy Bughosun and Fouzia who supports women rights but then pulling up stuff like this is wild.

I guess it‘s okay if the opinion is Lebanese Arab or Moroccan Amazigh but they draw the line on Saudi Arab?

Also, a lot of saudi women are speaking up in Saudi Arabia and wearing revealing clothes.

I think this one specifically said „I don‘t like MBS version of feminism“ and was slapped in prison.

From the article:

Following her arrest, Manahel al-Otaibi was subjected to physical and psychological abuse in Riyadh’s Malaz Prison, and she was forcibly disappeared for five months from 5 November 2023 until April 2024. On 14 April 2024, when she was finally able to contact her family again, she told them she was being held in solitary confinement and had a broken leg as a result of physical abuse. She also said she was denied health care.

This is fucking despicable. For wearing unapproved clothing and speaking out against male guardianship?! How the fuck is this a moral way to treat anyone?

I’m glad her sister was able to get out of Saudi Arabia in time. And I hope this woman gets justice, but I’m not holding my breath.

That is the country that just bought a soccer (real football) world championship from the heart of corruption, i.e. the FIFA for 2036. Probably all will be built with slave labor again.
