- As the ultraconservative Kingdom of Saudi Arabia promotes a new willingness to espouse more liberal social policies towards women, FRANCE 24 is joined by Lina al-Hathloul, Head of Monitoring and Advocacy at ALQST for Human Rights, following the arrest of her sister, Loujain al-Hathloul, an activist and popular fitness instructor widely followed on social media. Amid a widespread crackdown on dissent across the kingdom, Ms Loujain al-Hathloul is being charged with rebellion, defaming the kingdom, and taking on the justice system. Our guest Ms. Lina Al-Hathloul dismisses the kingdom's "PR campaign that Saudi Arabia's undertaking to flirt with the West to have tourists visit the country." She asserts that the kingdom remains "a dictatorship and a police state" where nothing has improved for the population of 36 million, au contraire: "It has even gotten worse with the unprecedented prison sentences" and executions, even of minors.

Who would have thought Saudi Arabia will be 'liberal'
monarchies are not liberal by virtue of their institution, it is only a question of if demand for liberalism can be a concession to offset the draw of absolutism.
@@gavinmc5285 after all you may question why a single person or a family should have absolute authority over an entire country. Which doesn't sound so nice considering their so called religion claims everyone is equal in god's eyes or at least that's what they say
@@kingofdevils which religion would that be?
@@gavinmc5285islam
Lol Saudi Arabia is not liberal. Not sure where you got that idea. Hopefully you were being sarcastic
It's not activism, it's the exercise of individualism.
What makes no sense? If it was not for persons exercise individualism, there would be no entrepreneurs. So, to exercise individualism is to embrace, the rise of entrepreneurship
What a lovely comment section
Jamal Kashoggi was murdered
Thanks Lina al-Hathloul, your are so brave ❤
Hope women will have their rights again.
Women are happy and enjoying their lives in muslim societies and in Saudi too...Europe has no need to worry about us....be worry about yourself where in your father,brothers,sons and husband are not willing to take you people responsibilities and women have to work just to pay for their basic needs....Alhumdulilah in muslim society if a woman is willing to work she can but she is not forced by her family to work and earn and pay her basic bills...Stop islamophobic agenda...
US conservative right wing sees Saudi Arabia as example
Thank you enjoyed your ptogram
Everyone tiptoed apologetically.
Patriarchy is so insecure is almost clinical 😢
Not surprised by it
They have great human rights provided your a MAN!
We have better human rights for both men and women. Free education. Free healthcare. Government aided employment benefits. Generous vacations. Good work for good pay. If your women knew the privileges given to Saudi women they'd be begging for citizenship.
@@Salman-ji7enlol no.
🤡@@Salman-ji7en🤡
No, I wouldn't be. U wanna know why ? Because I'm bisexual AND a woman.
Now the Tables have turned as Saudi is more Stronger under the umbrella of BRICS. UeS needs Saudi More than Saudi need them
The US do not need the Saudis for anything. And all those nations depending solely on oil and gas are finding that decarbonisation will make them somehow less important, and significantly poorer.
Until they run out of oil. 🙊
let just forget the connections to 9/11
Yes once the west transition's to renewable s and OPEC is of no importance then I can see a spontaneous people's uprising happening and the royal families put to the sword in Saudi Arabia and the UAE...not that the CIA will be behind it!!.🤔🤣🤣❤️🇺🇲🇺🇦
Taliban? NATO just ran away from Afghanistan like rats remember?
@@PlaYer-sn5or15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis and members of AlQaeda. Taliban hosted their leader Bin Laden.
bin laden hated the saudi monarchist state
Dude it's actually change women can now go out without wearing abaya
Beside this law has lifted btw
And for manahel alotaibi she was charged because she's transgressed against the divine self
Look who's talking 🤣🤣🤣🤣 france
Ladies and gentlemen, the host of the 2034 World Cup….
How about you fix your own problems France? Last thing i heard Paris streets were literally burning.
You know yall ain't right. Women are humans with a mind of our own
a) multi tasking
b) even if you dismiss a you think the streets are more important than living human beings? 🥴
im sorry? it seemed like France was trying to lecture on human rights !! that must be some sort of a joke right?
Oh yeah u see people in france getting yrs on prison for tweeting smth
France still has a MUUUUUCH better human rights record compared to Saudi so I don't know where you're getting at.
@@wheatlysparble7900
What about frace jailing Muslim women for wearing hijab ?
so they want women to wear bikins and marry to each other
More like let women do what ever they want
Yes
God Bless Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia will perish
I am ready to get my brainwash 🧖🏻
So we have to a Copy of France to be accepted as good ! 😂
The french try not to be racist challenge *impossible*
Violent criminals don't become less violent, without trauma to change their ways and attitude! Basic psychology!
That’s actually not basic psychology - at all. Maybe you’re being sarcastic?
Western lecture start.
Women in Saudi are now given permission to drive, go to anywhere. After 30 years they will be like any other countries. So why they do not give all the priveleges all to women of tey know at the end they are going to permit them. Funny ... 😅
