Two duel citizen have been arrested among 12 total today for supporting woman rights in the Kingdom.
Saudi Arabia detained 12 people, including two dual U.S.-Saudi citizens, in a new round of arrests in the kingdom targeting individuals supportive of women’s rights and those with ties to jailed activists, people with knowledge of the apprehensions said Friday.
It marks the first sweep of arrests to target individuals perceived as critics of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman since the killing of writer Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul in October.
The arrests come despite a global outcry over Khashoggi’s grisly killing by Saudi agents in an operation directed by former top aides to the crown prince.
The arrested individuals, nearly all of whom were detained on Thursday, are not seen as front-line activists. They are writers and advocates who quietly supported greater social reforms, and most had ties to the group of women’s rights activists currently on trial.
What that supidity should hurt?
That if your a citizen of a country you should know the laws and customs?
That if you break the laws and customs of a country your a citizen of you should be held accountable?
It sounds like you don’t think a person should know the laws and customs of a country they are a citizen of? is that correct yes or no.
It sounds like you don’t think a person who violates the laws and customs of a country they are a citzen of should be punished? is that correct yes or no?
My point is, they remain Saudi Citizens and are subject to their laws as such. Since they kept their Saudi Citizenship (or if they were US citizens first and became Saudi citizens without renouncing like they should – in my opinion), the US should play no part in their arrest and let their laws play out with their citizens.
Didn’t say that. They can and should do that if they are willing to pay the price if it’s against the laws and customs of a country they are citizens of.
