22:53Now PlayingManahel al-Otaibi, a 29-year-old fitness instructor in Saudi Arabia, faces an uncertain but potentially severe sentence for her social media advocacy. Arrested for posts supporting liberal reforms, including women’s rights and LGBTQIA+ rights, she has been charged with “defaming the kingdom” and “calling for rebellion against public order.” Her case is being handled by the Specialized Criminal Court, originally established for terrorism cases but now increasingly used against activists, raising concerns about the severity of the penalty she may face. Lina al-Hathloul, a human rights activist, lamented the disparity in treatment between Saudi nationals and Westerners: “They say they welcome women and that women can wear whatever — but at the end what is happening is that it’s only for Westerners." al-Hathloul’s statement underscores the ongoing repression despite claims of liberalization, as al-Otaibi’s case reveals the stark limitations on freedom of expression in the ultra-conservative kingdom.
