Sentencing And PR
Saudi Arabia may say it is modernizing from an ultra-conservative country, but its sentencing of dissidents says otherwise. Consider the 45 years of imprisonment handed out to a woman who posted on social media. By any stretch of imagination, it is difficult to justify such a length of jail time for comments. Perhaps if the woman advocated for the overthrow of the Saudi government, a 25-year sentence might have been justified, but 45 years? Saudi Arabia has reaped bad PR in recent months. This only adds to the poor reputation of the country.
