It could be one of harshest sentences yet for those critical of Prince Mohammed Bin Salman’s regime.
A pro-reform Saudi Arabian law professor’s large social media following has prompted the country’s prosecutors to seek a sentence usually imposed for violent crimes or drug offenses: death.
Awad Al-Qarni, 65, was arrested over his Twitter and WhatsApp usage in 2017 as part of Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s crackdown on dissidents, though his potential sentence could be the harshest yet for those critical of the Saudi regime. Salma al-Shehab, a Ph.D student, was given a 34-year prison sentence last year for using a Twitter account to amplify other activists.
