Saudi Arabia has sentenced to death a government critic who denounced alleged corruption and human rights abuses on social media, his brother and others familiar with the case told AFP on Monday.
The judgement was handed down against Mohammed al-Ghamdi in July by the Specialized Criminal Court, a secretive institution established in 2008 to try terrorism cases that has a history of unfair trials resulting in death sentences.
The charges against al-Ghamdi include conspiracy against the Saudi leadership, undermining state institutions and supporting terrorist ideology, sources briefed on the details of the case told AFP.

Or hear me out. Maybe we don’t give money to tyrants who kill their people who criticizing the government. It’s a crazy, novel idea, I know, but it’s possible.

Hey remember all those times the US government did business with Saudi Arabia? I wish I could come up with something to say about that that wouldn’t get me visited by at least 9 letters worth of government agencies

As European, I’m laughing or crying, depend, to see we have turned Putin to this…
And yet, dubai is advertisedd by many influencer as a dream place to live.
