.@NorahODonnell calls Saudi crown prince "bold and visionary" for his "reforms" at home. MBS suggests that Americans Google photos from 50s or 60s. But what about life today? Discriminatory male guardianship system is still violating women’s rights on a daily basispic.twitter.com/kwC0iN8FDK

Important Q from
@NorahODonnell about arrests of dissidents. Authorities continue to hold in prisons several dozen dissidents & human rights activists convicted in unfair trials and sentenced to long prison terms. MBS says they're working on "mending shortcomings"عرض هذه السلسلة -
MBS claims "all actions" at Ritz Carlton were in line with Saudi laws. READ
@nytimes coverage of treatment of prisoners at the Ritz. 17 detainees required medical treatment for abuse by their captorshttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/11/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-corruption-mohammed-bin-salman.html …عرض هذه السلسلة -

Explaining that he's "not Mandela and not Gandhi" MBS explains Yemen war as an attempt to confront Iranian backed rebels to fire missiles at Riyadh. It's true that Houthis are responsible for likely war crimes, but that doesn't justify attacks on civilianshttps://www.hrw.org/news/2017/11/07/yemen-houthi-strike-saudi-airport-likely-war-crime …

Saudi carnage in Yemen doesn't happen in a vacuum. The US is refueling their planes mid air and selling weapons.
@realDonaldTrump's huge weapons deal sends the signal that these abuses are okay as long as Saudi money keeps flowing#StopArmingSaudihttps://www.justsecurity.org/40518/officials-risk-complicity-war-crimes-yemen/ …عرض هذه السلسلة -
They're now discussing MBS
#VIsion2030 on@60Minutes, they've invested money in@Uber and are shown discussing reforms late into the night. Saudi women are on@Snap but country's discriminatory male guardianship system is still violating women’s rights on a daily basispic.twitter.com/X3GoUGW5Z3عرض هذه السلسلة -
MBS promises equal pay between men and women is coming, as is women's driving (planned for June 2018), but
@NorahODonnell asks about discriminatory male guardianship system. The response is glib - "we've come a long way" and have "a short way left to go"pic.twitter.com/koNyaSZ9wtعرض هذه السلسلة -
At 32,
@NorahODonnell asked Saudi crown prince "you could rule this country for another 50 years" She frames changes & reforms being led by him, but imagine living in a society that regards you as enemy simply because you are not in the majorityhttps://www.hrw.org/news/2017/09/26/saudi-arabia-official-hate-speech-targets-minorities …عرض هذه السلسلة -
To sum up, MBS gets off very easily on the eve of a big tour of the US. He was not confronted about the brutal & callous blockade he authorized on Yemen (
@60Minutes claims its over but restrictions continue), but so does US government, which keeps selling arms to them for bombingعرض هذه السلسلة

*thousands of Yemeni civilians have been killed by coalition air strikes

Fair point. Many hundreds --> thousands of Yemeni civilians have been killed by air strikes. For our part, HRW has documented at least 87 apparently unlawful strikes over the course of the conflict but there are many more.

I understand it can be hard to get exact figures, although in 1 incident alone over 130 were killed in the Funeral hall massacre by a double tap air strike, it’s much harder to tally in rural areas
