Saudi authorities arrest another professor in widening crackdown on dissent
[PRESSTV] Saudi authorities have tossed in the calaboose... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... another university professor in the conservative oil-rich kingdom as part of a widening crackdown led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ...  Crown Prince of Soddy Arabia...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... as of 2016.... against Moslem preachers and intellectuals. The rights group Prisoners of Consciousness, which is an independent non-governmental organization advocating human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... in Saudi Arabia, announced in a post on its official Twitter page on Sunday that Sheikh Nasser al-Omar, a former professor at the Faculty of Fundamentals of Religion at Riyadh-based Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University were tossed into the calaboose and his Twitter account suspended. The post added that Saudi officials had earlier imposed a travel ban on the academic. Separately, Saudi officials have arrested Sheikh Ahmed al-Emari, a professor of Koranic studies at the Medina-based Taibah University, on charges of contact with political dissident, Sheikh Safar al-Hawali. Abdulaziz Abdullatif, a member of the academic board at the same Saudi university, were tossed into the calaboose nearly a year ago. Posted by: Fred 2018-08-13 |
