But don't worry, fifa said they can held a world cup and it will help them with the humans rights respecting issue

Indeed! Maybe they can even pause the executions for a while during the festivities

FIFA: ”in 2034 we believe that number will go down to 299, they are really trying to improve there”.

FYI for non saudis: you can be charged with terrorism for "apostasy", or "witchcraft", or "endangering the status quo" (criticizing or revolting against the royal family in any way). So high chance that many of the 45 executed for terrorism aren't even terrorists.

Oil truly is a curse.

Biden, didn't you said that you will support the rebels in Syria if they respect human rights? So why are you still an ally to Saudi Arabia?

What are the chances the Saudis have a torture prison just like that one in Syria?

[-] fxomt@lemm.ee 8 points 3 weeks ago

We have no centralized prison where all the torture happens there. Instead, all of our prisons are torturous. We even have a place in Riyadh called Al-deerah square, or lovingly referred to by the locals as Chop Chop square, where we behead people publicly. And as i said in another comment, "terrorism" charges can be as mild as leaving the religion.

Many such cases of people being tortured or even killed in different prisons: Abdullah al Hamid, Loujain al Hathloul, Nimr al Nimr, Ali Mohammed Baqir al Nimr, Dawoud al Marhoon.

I'm kind of surprised that you still have any room for doubt in that regard.

[-] uberdroog@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago
