A court has ordered the brutal execution of a teacher over just five tweets as the nation sends “a clear and sinister message”.
Outrage is building after it emerged that a retired teacher from Saudi Arabia will be put to death over a series of tweets criticising the government’s human rights record.
The organization has slammed the decision, and hit out at the ultra-conservative nation’s “crackdown on freedom of expression and peaceful political dissent”. The organization claimed Mr al-Ghamdi was first arrested on June 11, 2022 and was held in solitary confinement for months with no opportunity to communicate with his family, a lawyer or the outside world.His brother, Saeed bin Nasser al-Ghamdi, is a high-profile Islamic scholar and vocal critic of the Saudi regime who is based in the UK, and he claims his sibling’s arrest and sentence was an attempt by authorities to exact revenge on him.
Lina Alhathloul, the head of monitoring and advocacy at UK human rights organization ALQST, also took to Twitter to condemn the ruling.
