The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is quite angry these days. The reason for this is that in Saudi Arabia, a woman was sentenced to 34 years. This punishment has been given to this woman for following the tweets of so-called dissenters and activists and forwarding their messages. The name of the woman to whom the court has sentenced this sentence is Salma Al Shehab. Saudi Arabia's court has also imposed a travel ban on Salma for the next 34 years after being sentenced to 34 years in prison. The UN Human Rights Office has expressed strong displeasure over this sentence given to Salma. OHCHR spokeswoman Liz Thresel said that we demand that Salma's sentence be canceled and her unconditional release immediately.
OHCHR has said in its statement that Salma should not have been arrested for such conduct. It has also been said in the statement that with such punishment, the government is trying to spread fear in the minds of civil society and its critics. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has said that this is a living example of retaliation, targeting and punishing those who raise their voices against human rights violations and those of differing views from the government in Saudi Arabia.
Let us tell you that Salma is a Ph.D. student at the University of Leeds, UK, and is the mother of two children. She was arrested in Saudi Arabia in the year 2021 when she had come to Saudi Arabia on holiday. Saudi Arabia had accused him of spreading misinformation through tweets and creating disturbances in public order and helping those with opinions against the government. Let us tell you that Saudi Arabia has also made a big investment in this social media company of America. A special feature of the sentence given to Salma by the court is that this sentence has been given several days after Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia.
The UN Human Rights Office has said that Salma should be released immediately and she should be allowed to return to her family. It has been said on behalf of the UN agency that it is also necessary to reconsider such cases. Among those who get such punishment, are the same women who oppose the discriminatory policies of the government and raise their voices against them. These include not only women but also many other people and journalists.
