Nach zehn Jahren Haft könnte der inhaftierte saudische Aktivist und Wirtschaftsprofessor Mohammad al-Qahtani bald freikommen. Sein Fall dokumentiert, wie viele andere, die Willkür des saudischen Rechtssystems.

New evidence suggests that #UAE #activist who was mysteriously killed in the #UK was under tight surveillance by Abu Dhabi's #Pegasus program - mourners stayed away from her funeral afraid to be framed by UAE intelligence officers

When the body of the 33-year-old Emirati activist, who died in a car accident in #Oxford in June, was shown in a viewing to mourners at Regent’s Park Mosque, a number of her close friends stayed away.

They wanted to avoid being seen paying their respects, for fear that the mosque was secretly being filmed, and that their association with the activist and researcher could be dangerous for themselves or their families at home in the UAE.

“I entered to see her, and to tell her these people were just outside, and that I was there on their behalf,” one close friend told the #Guardian. “It was very painful to not have the simple right to be with her or say goodbye to her.”

No foul play is suspected in Al-Siddiq’s death, which occurred after a two-car collision in which people in both vehicles were injured.

But now, three months after her death, new evidence has emerged about an intense and pervasive campaign to surveil Al-Siddiq, who served as executive director of #ALQST, a non-profit advocating for human rights in the UAE and wider region.
