In a statement released on Thursday, the United Kingdom-based rights group said activists who led campaigns for women’s rights in the Gulf country continue to be imprisoned or are facing trial, despite the fact that women’s empowerment is on Saudi Arabia’s G20 agenda.'

Chances are that women's empowerment is on Saudi Arabia's G20 agenda for PR reasons when in fact they have their own loaded understanding of what women's empowerment means that doesn't conform to everybody else's understanding.

When our intelligence agencies discover that SA funds the Great Mosque of Rome to push the imams to spread the fundamentalist interpretation of the Scriptures (which include gender inequality and polygamy), one understands it is a waste of time.

Politics is all a PR stunt. Also there are two fronts in this case. The first is advertising how "great and tolerant" Saudi is to the public so that they can get support from these people. Then there is the underground funding of groups to spread their ideology so that hopefully they can develop a grass roots fundamentalist revolution.

It is all about gaining power, wealth and controlling the masses. As long as the secularist and atheists in question get paid by the Saudi's, they will not stand against them. Those rules of banishment only apply to those who do not have influence.

Saudi activist Loujain al-Hathloul’s trial moved to terror court

'Saudi Arabia has moved the trial of prominent women’s rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul to a court for terror-related crimes, according to her family.

Al-Hathloul, a prominent women’s rights activist, was arrested along with about a dozen other female activists in May 2018, just weeks before Saudi Arabia lifted a decades-old ban on female drivers. She went on a hunger strike in October for several weeks to protest against her prison conditions.'
