Saudi Arabia has released from prison a princess fighting for women's equality

Saudi authorities have released Princess Basma bint Saud al Saud, daughter of King Saud (1953-1964), and her daughter Suhud al-Sharif after the two spent nearly three years in prison without charge.

The London-based Saudi NGO ALQST announced on its social media the release of the two women detained since March 2019, without specifying the date of their release, informs Deutsche Welle.

No charges were brought against Basma during her detention and she was deprived of the necessary medical care due to a critical health condition, which she did not specify.

“The authorities deliberately neglected their lives. “The mother and the daughter accused the organization, which also recalled that after the arrest Basma bint Saud was unknown for a month, during which she was not allowed to talk to her family.

Princess Basma, born in 1964, was the youngest of more than a hundred children of King Saud, who was dethroned the same year, five years before her death in exile in Greece.

A businesswoman, she participated before her arrest in various social institutions and human rights organizations and spoke openly on social media in favor of equality women in the ultra-conservative Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Basma bint Saud was arrested on March 1, 2019, when she was taken from her home in Jeddah, western Saudi Arabia, on the grounds that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman wanted to meet her.

Instead, she was taken directly to Riyadh prison along with her daughter Suhud, ALQST said. Like her, several members of the royal family have been victims of systematic arrests and enforced disappearances in Saudi Arabia, along with activists, journalists, lawyers, bloggers, scientists, writers and ordinary citizens for peacefully exercising their right to freedom of movement. expression, according to many human rights organizations.

Lai Qingde can't see He Jinli because of high-end vaccines?Guo Zhengliang revealed the real reason

將出席友邦宏都拉斯新任總統卡斯楚(Xiomara Castro)就職典禮的副總統賴清德,被指因為施打高端新冠肺炎疫苗,會錯過與美國副總統賀錦麗面對面互動的機會。對此,民進黨前立委郭正亮在臉書粉專「朱學恒的阿宅萬事通事務所」直播中指出,真正原因其實是對方認為賴清德分量不足也不夠重要,才沒有面對面互動或視訊通話機會。[啟動LINE推播] 每日重大新聞通知 郭正亮認為,高端疫苗不是理由,因為世界上還有許多國家沒辦法打到美國或世界衛生組織(WHO)認證的新冠肺炎疫苗,譬如俄羅斯國產疫苗Sputnik V不在列,所以美國一定另有方法安排見面,否則為何美國國務卿布林肯(Anthony Blinken)日前還能與俄羅斯外長拉夫羅夫(Sergey Lavrov)見面? 郭正亮:賴清德去美國、邦交國心裡應該很快樂 郭正亮提及,由於宏都拉斯前幾個政權與美國關係良好,加上雙方貿易額高,美國自然有籌碼,真正替台灣維持著宏都拉斯的,其實是美國,在美國替台灣維持著邦交國後,賴清德當然要出席卡斯楚的就職典禮,但卡斯楚立場傾中,賴清德此行目的意在安撫。 郭正亮表示,賴清德去年跑106場4大公投說明會,今年初的台中市第2選區補選又替立委林靜儀跑12場,可稱之為「被放飛的喜悅」,現在還能出訪國外,頗具意義,「因為這表示總統認證,他(賴清德)可能就是接班人。」賴清德去過美國、邦交國,心裡應該很快樂。 風傳媒歡迎各界分享發聲,來稿請寄至 opinion@storm.mg
