Manahel al-Otaibi is serving an 11-year prison sentence in Saudi Arabia. A brave defender of women’s rights, a “terrorism” court gave her an incredibly harsh punishment merely for promoting women’s rights and expressing herself on social media. Sign the petition and demand the Saudi Arabian authorities free her immediately.

Your Excellency,

I am writing to you regarding the case of Manahel al-Otaibi. In November 2022, Manahel was arrested for campaigning for women’s rights online and posting photos to Snapchat of herself at a shopping mall without wearing a traditional abaya. Manahel has been sentenced to 11 years in prison.

In recent years, Saudi Arabia’s authorities have claimed they are advancing women’s rights in the Kingdom. Manahel believed these promises and felt freer to express her views and wear what she liked. Now she is serving over a decade behind bars.

I demand that Manahel al-Otaibi is immediately and unconditionally released, and all charges against her are dropped.

Yours sincerely
