Saudi regime in overdrive, producing dissidents and prisoners


Apart from massive oil production, the Saudi regime is in overdrive to produce political prisoners and dissidents.

As reported by the Middle East Eye (MEE), “a Saudi dissident who fled to Europe was forced to go to court in Germany to gain political asylum after immigration officials sat on his case for more than 18 months. Rasheed Alameer, a 35-year-old medical doctor who left Saudi Arabia in 2018, was finally granted refugee status in March within days of filing a legal complaint against the German government over the delay.”

While seeking asylum in Western countries might seem like a solid safety option for many Saudi dissidents, the political reality of their situation is much more complex.

Many Western countries that preach freedom and democracy are on very friendly terms with the despotic Saudi regime. Thus, the safety of Saudi dissidents is not a done deal once they flee abroad.
