Saudi Activists
The motion
That the Parliament understands that several Saudi Arabian activists, including a number of women, have been arbitrarily detained without charge since May 2018 in Saudi Arabia’s Dhahban Prison; believes that the women, who include some of the kingdom’s most prominent feminists, are subject to torture, sexual harassment and other abuse while in jail; supports the campaigning work of these activists to gain equality for women in Saudi Arabia; considers that the international community has not done enough to pressure the Saudi Government to release all those jailed for peacefully campaigning, and further considers that these political prisoners should be released immediately.
