Noura al-Qahtani, a woman from the same country, posted a controversial comment against Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on her social media page. Following this, he was arrested under the Prevention of Cybercrime Act in July last year. While the trial of Noora’s case was going on in a special court, the court has now given its verdict. Accordingly, Noora was sentenced to 45 years in prison for making defamatory comments about the King and Prince.
In this regard, the Saudi court said, “Controversial Twitter post disrupts public order.” It is also alleged to be fueling the activities of those who want to destabilize the country. “Noora has damaged the social structure of Saudi Arabia with this post. Western countries are protesting against the sentence given to Noora Al-Qahtani, a mother of five children. Also, many people are expressing their views on social networks that this sentence shows how the human rights situation is.
