Saudi Arabia accused of torturing female activists by electrocution and flogging

[Brian37]

Human Rights Watch reported that "Female Saudi activists reported being tortured, from getting flogged to being sexually assaulted by the Saudi regime in prisons":

Campaigners have accused Saudi Arabia of subjecting several activists, including female human rights defenders, imprisoned since May to torture and sexual harassment.

More than a dozen women’s rights activists have been detained for months, most of whom had campaigned for the right to drive and an end to the Kingdom’s male guardianship system, but some have since been freed.

It looks like it even increased a lot after the assassination of Jamal Kashoggi:

Lynn Maalouf, Amnesty International’s Middle East research director, said: “Only a few weeks after the ruthless killing of Jamal Khashoggi, these shocking reports of torture, sexual harassment and other forms of ill treatment, if verified, expose further outrageous human rights violations by the Saudi authorities.”

These allegations are as true as the daylight. We've been repeating for decades that the government of Saudi Arabia is torturing opposing voices and do atrocities to any person dares speaking against the royal family of the Sauds but so many outside the kingdom chose to believe the Sauds instead; until the case of Kashoggi came and exposed how full of lies this regime is and how savage and brutal it is.

The allegations could not be verified and the campaigners did not clarify the identity of the individuals who provided testimony. Human Rights Watch said the sources were concerned they and the activists would suffer reprisals if identified publicly.

So really? "could not be verified"? even after knowing about Kashoggi being hacked to pieces, melted in acid; inside a consulate belonging to this savage regime, by orders from it's own king's son; proved by Turkey and the CIA ?

A Saudi government communications office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Riyadh has in the past denied using torture and said that arrests were made on the basis of people accused of having suspicious contacts with foreign entities and of offering financial support to “enemies overseas”.

So by participating in "athiestforum.org" I should be arrested according to the regime of Saudi Arabia.

I worry about your safety every time I read your posts.
