Saudi Arabia has stepped up arrests, trials, and convictions of peaceful dissidents, and forcibly dispersed peaceful demonstrations by citizens. Authorities continued to violate the Human Rights of Saudi women and girls and foreign workers. Authorities subjected thousands of people to unfair trials and arbitrary detention. Courts convicted human rights defenders and others for peaceful expression or assembly demanding political and human rights reforms. It is our belief that the United States of America must make it clear to the Saudi government and the Saudi people that to continue trade & diplomatic relations with the U.S. they must end their unrelenting assault on freedom of expression and their represson of women, religious minorities, and migrant workers.
