"Retired Teacher Receives Death Sentence in Saudi Arabia for Critical Tweets"

A retired teacher in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to death after posting tweets criticizing corruption and human rights violations. Muhammad al-Ghamdi, 54, was convicted under Saudi Arabia's counterterrorism law for undermining religion or justice, supporting a terrorist ideology, communicating with a terrorist entity, and publishing false news with the intention of executing a terrorist crime. Human Rights Watch and his brother believe the severity of the sentence is designed to punish his brother's activism. This comes amid an escalating crackdown on free speech in the country, with Saudi Arabia executing at least 92 people this year alone.
