    Distressing footage from Khamis Mushait orphanage showing security forces and masked men storming the site and assaulting girls who were protesting their conditions. The #Saudi authorities must open an investigation and hold the perpetrators accountable.

    🎉 Saudi PhD student Salma al-Shehab has now been released from prison! This follows over four years of arbitrary imprisonment on the basis of her peaceful activism. Her full freedom must now be granted, including the right to travel to complete her studies @UniversityLeeds.

    Replying to @ALQST_En
    “The fact that @LoujainHathloul has been sentenced under the counter-terrorism law, based on charges relating solely to her peaceful activism, is the latest travesty of justice in a trial that has been flawed from start to finish,” said ALQST’s Executive Director @alaa_q.

    Today marks six years since the heinous murder of journalist #JamalKhashoggi. As reports by the UN and US intelligence made clear, the murder implicated Saudi officials at the highest levels. Yet #JusticeForJamal has still not been served, paving the way for further abuses.

    🚨 On 2 October, the SCC sentenced Shadli (brother of Abdul Rahim al-Huwaiti), Ataullah & Ibrahim Saleh al-Huwaiti to death. The family members were detained in 2020 for opposing eviction to make way for #Neom. We condemn the sentences and call for their release. #SaudiArabia

    Today marks 5 years since the murder of journalist #JamalKhashoggi, who was assassinated and dismembered by a team of Saudi agents. For those in London, join us outside the @SaudiEmbassyUK for a candlelit vigil in his honour, and to support ongoing calls for #JusticeForJamal.

    ALQST mourns the death of its Executive Director, icon of the Emirati human rights movement Alaa Al-Siddiq, in a tragic traffic accident. Alaa was a friend, colleague and sister to all of those around her, and always did what she could to help others. alqst.org/en/post/ALQST-…

    🚨 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.
