Saudi Arabia Sentences Woman to 45 Years for Social Media Posts
HAVANA TIMES – In Saudi Arabia, a woman has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for her social media posts. A Saudi terrorism court convicted Nourah al-Qahtani of “using the internet to tear the social fabric” and “violating public order by using social media.” This comes just weeks after a Saudi court sentenced women’s rights defender Salma al-Shehab to 34 years in prison over her Twitter posts.
