Manahel al-Otaibi's case highlights ongoing repression in Saudi Arabia against activists promoting women's rights, illustrating a stark contradiction between proclaimed reforms and actual human rights abuses.
Her family faced indifference from the Saudi Human Rights Commission after reporting her stabbing in prison, showcasing the lack of security for dissenters and the state's hostility toward advocates.
The narrative shared by Manahel’s sister underscores the grave threats to women in Saudi Arabia advocating for their rights, as they are met with systematic violence and repression.
The authorities have accused Manahel of inciting girls against religious principles, a blatant measure against those challenging the status quo of traditional gender roles in the country.
