The Saudi authorities resort to secret courts to cover up violations
The Saudi authorities resort to secret courts to hight violations against prisoners of conscience, who are denied family and attorney visits.
Sanad Organization for Human Rights said that many prisoners of conscience were held in secret courts and faced arbitrary and unfair sentences based on confessions extracted under torture.
According to the organization, the Saudi authorities violate secret courts and their treatment of prisoners of conscience in clear violation of local and international laws and treaties that establish the principle of justice through transparency in arrests and trials.
The human rights organization stressed that the Saudi authorities should review their unfair policy in dealing with the country’s prisoners of conscience and end their file out of respect for the law, justice and human rights.
International calls for the release of innocent detainees arrested by the Saudi authorities continue because of their free expression and legitimate demands.
Several experts at the United Nations sent an appeal to the Saudi authorities, calling for student Asmaa Al-Subaie and journalist Maha Al-Rafidi, and some human rights defenders, including Dr Muhammad Fahd Al-Qahtani, Issa Al-Nukhaifi, Khaled Al-Omair and Fawzan Al-Harbi.
Many activists inside the prison are subjected to ill-treatment and harsh humanitarian conditions, as they were prevented from appointing a lawyer to them and were subjected to solitary confinement and types of torture by the prison administration.
The Saudi authorities continue to ignore international and international calls and violate international human rights laws. To abuse activists and rights claimants and take revenge on prisoners of conscience.
The Saudi authorities also continue to detain many intellectuals and national competencies, as they practice the most heinous violations in detention centres, because they express their national opinions and their demands for reform.
Those authorities have arrested many teachers who served in the educational corps and produced generations of science students to build the national scientific competencies the Kingdom needs to get out of its crises.
Many teachers are still facing arbitrary arrest, in light of the deliberate abuse of their rights, such as teacher Mona Al-Bayali, Khaled Al-Darwish, Ahmed Matar Lafi, Ibrahim Al-Harthy, head of the Andalus schools, and many others.
Human rights organizations call on the international community and the concerned authorities to intervene and pressure the Saudi authorities to push them to end the repression and violations affecting several educators in the Kingdom and release all prisoners of conscience without restrictions or conditions.
