Saudi Arabia sentences woman to 11 years for supporting women’s rights

[Almost Heaven]

Manahel al-Otaibi was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment by a secret court in Saudi Arabia for “her choice of clothing and support for women’s rights,” according to international media reports from the last week.

Saudi officials confirmed to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights that al-Otaibi had been sentenced on January 9 for what the officials described as “terrorist offenses,” the Guardian reported.

Al-Otaibi was sentenced in a counter-terrorism court under a law that criminalizes the use of websites for “broadcasts or publishes news, statements, false or malicious rumors, or the like for committing a terrorist crime.”

The fitness influencer and artist was arrested in November 2022 after making numerous social media posts about female empowerment.

Amnesty International claimed that one of the charges related to the young woman shopping without a male guardian.

So a woman in a notoriously hot country wants to wear an alternative to a stifling hot body bag often in black which absorbs heat, and she's a terrorist. Only to the muslim males who seem to have a lot in common with the college and university snowflakes who require complete agreement or they melt down.

And shopping without a man, scandalous. She might buy some comfy cool clothing under that body bag she's forced to pull on.

You'd be amazed at some of the sexy lingerie some muslim women wear under their burkas, etc.
