Manahel al-Otaibi Arrested: In Saudi Arabia, the news of oppression on social workers is continuously coming. Now in a new case, a 29-year-old fitness trainer has been arrested. The only reason is that a woman named Manahel Al-Otaibi was demanding social change in Saudi.
Manahel Al-Otaibi had been continuously demanding social change in Saudi. For this, she used to post on social media every day. In her post, she advocates for women empowerment. Saudi authorities objected to Otaibi’s post and arrested him. Otaibi’s case is still going on in the courts and he has not been punished yet.
According to court records, Otaibi is accused of not wearing “decent” clothing, in addition to her use of social media, which was reported to authorities by the religious police. His sister Fauj al-Otaibi was also accused of not dressing properly, but she left Saudi Arabia before she could be jailed.
The Saudi Prince often tries to express to the world through his decisions that Saudi Arabia does not believe in gender discrimination, but after the case related to Manahel al-Otaibi, questions are being raised once again.
