Saudi journalist Turki al-Jasser was executed in June after years of enforced disappearance.
It dramatically illustrates the lengths the Saudi authorities will go to to suppress peaceful dissent.

Saudi journalist Turki al-Jasser was unexpectedly executed after seven years of enforced disappearance, on vague charges of terrorism.
His execution raises urgent concerns for other disappeared individuals.

Almost ten years without answers.
Preacher Sulaiman al-Dowaish has been forcibly disappeared since his arrest in April 2016 after tweeting comments critical of King Salman and Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
His fate and whereabouts remain unknown. #InternationalDayoftheDisappeared
Abdulrahman al-Sadhan was arrested by secret police in March 2018 from his workplace at the headquarters of the Saudi Red Crescent in Riyadh and forcibly disappeared for 23 months.
Since a court appearance in August 2021 he has been forcibly disappeared again. #IDOD2025
Many prisoners in #SaudiArabia, including preacher Sulaiman al-Dowaish, fitness instructor Manahel al-Oteibi, and aid worker Abdulrahman al-Sadhan have been subjected to enforced disappearance.
On #IDOD2025, we call on the Saudi authorities to end this cruel practise.
⚠️ Child defendant Abdullah al-Derazi, arrested 11 years ago, is at imminent risk of execution in Saudi Arabia.
His death sentence, following a grossly unfair trial, has had final approval from the Supreme Court and now only needs the king's signature.

Over the past three days #Saudi authorities executed five Somalis and two Ethiopians for smuggling hashish.
182 individuals have been executed for non-lethal drug offences in #SaudiArabia in 2025, of whom 135 were foreign nationals, including 36 Somalis and 30 Ethiopians.
The execution of Jalal Labbad, a Saudi youth convicted of alleged crimes committed as a minor, destroys authorities’ claims to have ended this violation of international human rights law.
It also raises grave fears for other child offenders on death row.

🚨 At today's hearing, the SCC overturned Manahel al-Otaibi's 11-year jail term but handed a new five-year one (followed by a five-year travel ban).
Given the time already served, this will entail two more years of arbitrary imprisonment. Saudi authorities must #FreeManahel now.

📅 The next hearing in the retrial of Manahel al-Otaibi — a fitness instructor sentenced by #Saudi authorities to 11 years for her peaceful activism — is taking place tomorrow, Thursday 21 August, at the SCC in Riyadh.
ALQST encourages diplomats to request access to the trial.

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we're thinking of Saudi aid worker Abdulrahman al-Sadhan, who was arrested in 2018 from his workplace @mediasrcaen and remains forcibly disappeared.
He faces 20 years in jail for peaceful Twitter activity. Saudi authorities must #FreeSadhan now.
🕊️ Academic Mohammed al-Barrak has been released after almost eight years of arbitrary imprisonment.
He was arrested in September 2017 during a crackdown on dissent. #SaudiArabia

Saudi Arabia’s horrific use of the death penalty continues apace, with at least 250 people now executed in 2025 alone.
Of those, 167 have been executed for non-lethal drug-related crimes, 122 of whom were foreign nationals from 11 Asian and African countries.
🚨 Since Manahel al-Otaibi’s last trial hearing on 22 July she has again been denied any family contact.
This raises further concerns for her wellbeing, amid a deterioration in her health.
Al-Otaibi has faced repeated abuse in prison since her arrest.
