Saudi man sentenced to death for tweets in harshest verdict yet for online critics

deleted , 10 months ago

Court documents reviewed by rights activists and Human Rights Watch show Alghamdi was sentenced to death on July 10 under the country’s vaguely worded counterterrorism law for using his social media accounts to commit crimes such as insulting the Saudi king or crown prince and supporting a terrorist ideology.

The article is full of crap. Check out above quoted paragraph.

1. “vaguely worded counterterrorism law” it’s clear as day that protesting is prohibited. Got a complaint? Go through formal channels.
2. Making online communities to execute your own agenda is prohibited.
3. Insulting anyone in social media is prohibited.

I’m not a lawyer but as an average joe, I know these 3 actions will get you at least 20+ years jail time.

The world isn’t America and its values. I respect Americans and I wish they can live the life they wanted and achieve the American dream. But other societies want their own values as well.

Because it’s not the US, the government should be able to kill people for criticizing it. Just gotta respect their values right? If they wanted basic human rights they should have been born somewhere else.

You fucking nonce

If you tweet you’ll bomb Boston you’ll not be fucked up because of a tweet. It’s the ideology behind it.

You just revealed how Murica fucked you up.

Saudi Arabia’s values are wrong.

What if my value is that you don't get to live? Whose values get respected?

When your 'values' mean sentencing someone to death for criticizing the government or insulting someone online, your values are garbage.

Might want to edit the post title to match the news article.
