Human Rights Watch, a New York-based international human rights organization, has said that the rise of persecution and torture and human rights abuses has increased in the country since the Saudi King Mohammed bin Salman came to power.
Human Rights Watch said in a new report released yesterday (Monday) by Human Rights Watch that the country's religious leaders, human rights activists or anyone with little criticism of King bin Salman were arrested and tortured. More than a year has passed since the brutal murder of renowned journalist Jamal Khashogi.
Human Rights Watch reports that human rights violations or detention and torture are not new in Saudi Arabia, but their levels have risen sharply now. The trend has grown alarmingly since the 2017.
Youth King Bin Salman has made several reforms such as driving women into power and allowing them to travel abroad without a male partner, but Human Rights Watch reports that there is a dark side to this, and as such, oppression has increased over Bin Salman's time. Increasingly, women are being tortured and even sexually harassed The. As well as the arrest of several women human rights activists.
