In his March trip to meet Saudi King Abdullah, President Obama should publicly address human rights abuses committed by the Monarchy.
•The Saudi govt. discriminates against its Afro-Arab citizens & banned them from senior govt. positions, incl. diplomats & judges.
•The Saudi government facilitates thousands of child marriages.
•The Saudi government practices segregation & Gender Apartheid & considers women as inferior to men. Females must receive permission from men to travel, work & study & are banned from driving & physical education.
•Thousands of political prisoners are jailed, & held without charge for years. The Saudi Monarchy bans all political parties, civic society, & human right orgs.
Mr. Obama, pressure the Saudi Monarchy by publicly addressing its human rights violations.
