#MAGABidenMuskAlliance: Who who of right wing extremists… alliance with the most fascistic political forces in the world and has nothing to do with the defense of “democracy” or “sovereignty” anywhere… to strong-arm regional governments to align themselves fully with the US-NATO axis against Russia, Iran and China, as well as to silence criticism of the US-Zionist genocide in Gaza

Saudi Arabia: Revoke death penalty for social media activity, UN experts urge

GENEVA (15 September 2023) – Saudi Arabia must immediately revoke the death sentence handed down to Mohammed Al Ghamdi for his tweets and YouTube activities, as the crackdown on freedom of expression in the country continues to escalate, UN experts* said today. “The mere expression of critical views online cannot meet the threshold under international law for the imposition of the death penalty,” the UN experts said. “Under no circumstances do the alleged crimes constitute the ‘most serious’ crimes.”
