Saudi Arabia has sentenced to death a government critic who denounced alleged corruption and human rights abuses on social media, his brother and others familiar with the case told AFP on Monday.
The judgement was handed down against Mohammed al-Ghamdi in July by the Specialized Criminal Court, a secretive institution established in 2008 to try terrorism cases that has a history of unfair trials resulting in death sentences.
The charges against al-Ghamdi include conspiracy against the Saudi leadership, undermining state institutions and supporting terrorist ideology, sources briefed on the details of the case told AFP.
Why would you do that to yourself?
Know your enemy
They’re not very enigmatic or opaque. It’s pretty obvious who and what they are without the need for self-torture.
Yeah I didn’t learn anything. My thought was to understand them better, but it was too vapid to learn anything.
Know both yourself and your enemies.
