Opinion: A sham trial exposes Saudi Arabia’s continued disrespect for its citizens
Demonstrators from Amnesty International called for the release of jailed Saudi activists outside the Saudi Embassy in Paris on March 8. By Hala Al-Dosari March 13 at 2:55 PM Hala Al-Dosari, an activist, scholar and writer from Saudi Arabia, is The Post’s first Jamal Khashoggi fellow.
Against this background, Saudi Arabia decided to appoint its first female ambassador to the United States, Princess Reema bint Bandar. It’s another opportunity to push an apologetic reform narrative amid U.S. congressional scrutiny and pressure. Many will take the bait, as they did when Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman first came to power.
The ability of women to mobilize their communities attests to the leadership of Eman al-Nafjan, a blogger and a linguistics professor, in promoting the driving campaign. The capacity-building of women to participate in municipal elections owes a big debt to Hatoon Al-Fassi, a renowned professor of women’s history. Nouf Abdulaziz, a TV producer and outspoken activist for prisoners of conscience, was arrested for her acts of solidarity.
