Here is what the page “Saudi Arabia to Execute Youssef al-Manasif for Attending Protests as a Teen, Rights Groups” contains. Human rights organizations are raising alarm over the imminent execution of Youssef al-Manasif in Saudi Arabia, who was arrested in 2017 for attending protests and funerals between the ages of 15 and 17. Al-Manasif, a member of the Shia minority, was convicted by the Specialized Criminal Court—a secretive tribunal for terrorism cases—on charges including joining demonstrations for religious freedom and participating in funerals deemed protests by authorities. Rights groups say he was tortured and did not meet his lawyer until five years after his arrest.
This case highlights the kingdom's surging use of the death penalty for non-violent crimes, drawing international criticism. The execution, if carried out, would mark another escalation in Saudi Arabia's crackdown on dissent and minority rights.
