Saudi Arabia: Khamis Mushayt Girl
Written byHaitham Sabbah
The much-missed Saudi blogger behind The Religious Policeman is back. Amongst other things, he had this observation on the Saudi Justice System: The 26-year-old mother of three, called the ‘Khamis Mushayt Girl’, convicted of murdering a man six years ago is scheduled to be executed next Thursday… The details are uncertain, because all Saudi trials are conducted in secret, without reporters, and without independent defense lawyers, so there's no-one around to give an objective account.
