So where between these 2 poles does the truth lie aljazeera examines the state of womens activism in saudi arabia hearing from female Detainees International Human Rights Organizations and seeking responses from those at the center of Decision Making within saudi arabia. This is a story that begins with a series of arrests. Of saudi women. Starting in september 27th when an academic. Was arrested after talking about corruption in one of her lectures. Then in january 28th a student in womens Rights Campaigner. Was arrested after criticizing the Foreign Relations between saudi arabia and israel. Then in may 28th there was a wave of arrests including 12 prominent womens Rights Campaign is. The eldest was a 70 year old doctor. A veteran campaigner for the right to drive others included hasa. And mahdi. Who oppose the countrys conservative guardianship system. Others included lou shine ill have knew a man i love john. Uses and why. Are all campaigners against the guardianship system.

Let at the flathead they mean they had you dont know what for. They are why even when. You have a plea that someone but there we. Sit in a band where bucky had to an arc or to add love or to hear whether jane had the law and use if should then and izzy were a man in this fan. He just said she. Left see why she here for a minute at tussle were at that was sort of the head leave it kind of end of it at that but also that because to set it up with i mean that i thought that given that under the guardianship system as its enforced in saudi arabia women cannot leave prison without their male guardians permission even if their sentence has expired and these are many cases that of course weve documented validating this in addition women who have gone to shelters government run shelters cant often leave the shelters unless their guardian who is oftentimes their abuser agrees that they should be able to leave.

The side here the cells foresighted stay confinement. We are here in the middle east a new wing that has been opened its called the activity wing so basically that a lot homes where girls can do activities this is basically their old investigation of when we came out for investigation we were being taken out from our cell and then taken to the investigation of all the way to change that and there opened a separate investigation as you can see here interesting question was very close to that group cells and we do yemeni things so i think for that reason they moved their investigation forms very fast so we basically see anything and best saved up.

It its not clear and certain and it can therefore be manipulated and used by prosecutors and charges to justify any action to to to to get a conviction and sentence in the end of course every country does need to have proper cyber tools but you cant have them used in this way where they are so general and where it would also be evidence. You are not allowed International Calls if youre a foreigner so i was obviously just able to call my parents for those entire 30 years that aesthetic asked if he was my sister.
