A Saudi terrorism court has sentenced a women’s rights activist and academic to 34 years in prison, followed by a 34-year travel ban due to tweets she posted calling for basic rights in the country.
Ms al-Shehab comes from the Shia Muslim minority, who have long-faced discrimination in Saudi Arabia. It is believed that Ms al-Shehab - whose Twitter account is @I_Salma1988 - was arrested for retweeting a post by Lina Alhathloul, the sister of Loujain. Ms Al-Hathloul, who remains held in Saudi Arabia under a travel ban, was released from jail just weeks after Ms al-Shehab’s detention.
