Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is well known for its authoritarian government and widespread repression. Despite talk of reforms under Crown Prince Mohamed Bin-Salman, there has been a recent increase in imprisonment, torture and executions.

While the decision to finally allow women the right to drive attracted global publicity, it has been accompanied by a crackdown on the women’s rights movement.

The government is also leading a coalition military campaign in Yemen, which is responsible for widespread civilian casualties.

Ameen Nemer is a human rights activist from Saudi Arabia who was forced to seek asylum in the UK.
