Amnesty International is calling on Saudi Arabia to free a 29-year-old fitness instructor it says has been secretly sentenced to 11 years in prison by a counterterrorism court for "absurd crimes": refusing to wear an abaya and hijab, and for campaigning on social media for women's rights, calling for an end to the Saudi Kingdom's male guardianship system. Amnesty has now learned that Manahel Al-Otaibi was sentenced in January and details of her highly secret case are only just now emerging in Saudi Arabia's formal reply to a request by the UN Human Rights Office. She went missing for five months and was only allowed to call her family in mid April, telling them "she was being held in solitary confinement, she was being beaten and that her leg was broken." For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on Saudi Arabia's oppressive policies towards women and brutal treatment of women's rights activists, FRANCE 24's Mark Owen is joined by Bissan Fakih, Strategic Advisor and Senior Campaigner for Amnesty International. "Saudi Arabia is spending billions in dollars to clean up its reputation," through sports, entertainment and tourism, explains Ms. Fakih, but all the while "Amnesty International has documented a deterioration in the human rights situation." She highlights that "Saudi Arabia remains one of the biggest executors in the world."

While Islamists promoting Hijab and Abaya in the west as women’s choice and power!!

@minnyjay4332 Ай бұрын

⬆️This!⬆️ Purposely deceiving the public when in reality, little girls are groomed, being told it's mandatory to wear hijab at puberty. And not wearing it is a sin. All while telling the public "it's a choice!"

It's sad but then again it's Saudi Arabia for heaven sake! You don't do that there and if you feel the need of doing that you try to find a way to get the hell out of there and go anywhere else who isn't a repressive regime. The world is big and she would have been welcome in so many places, why ruin her life for a country who is not yet ready to evolve. Saudi Arabia will reach a point in its evolution where people will not feel this way but it's not now.

Am a Muslim, and am also a part of amnesty and I want to say something about Manahel al-Otaibi Firstly in this case,We don't need to do anything . Secondly we also don't need to take any action . Because..... She breaks the cultural rules and boundaries the most holy place of MUSLIM Countries No one have rights to change the cultural rules and boundaries of any country If she is right.... Then am going to take an action in USA like Why USA's girls didn't wear Abaya Look, the main purpose of abaya is to protect every single women or girl If any women or a girl didn't wear that type of thing like abaya So, automatically she takes attraction of a lot of MENs and Boys for sexual harassment. So, why you people always try to goes against wearing abaya Your main purpose is just to protect women rights So, wearing abaya is also protect all women U need to understand this scenario. In the End , Soudi Govt need to give High punishment to This girl Because she breaks or try to change the rule or boundaries of an religious Islamic country. On other hand ,if i try to break any rule in USA or other European countries So, that country also give me a huge punishment. So, By this scenario Soudi Govt have rights to give an huge punishment to this girl.

@McQueenPaul 3 ай бұрын

Total tosh. If you think that wearing an Abaya, basically an all over sack, is purely to protect women from the male gaze, it is men who have the problem. As a non muslim, I see this as dark ages thinking. You would not exist without women and to compare brutalising them to exact control of women against western law where women are equal is a spurious argument. This is nothing to do with religion and totally to do with male oppression. Really, you are just afraid women would have a valid point of view.
