US 'Democracy' Praises Saudi 'Justice' For Tweets
Yes, Almadi, a US citizen, was imprisoned in 2021 by the Saudi authorities, then banned from travel for criticizing corruption and the murder of Jamal Khashoggi on social media. (Remember Khashoggi? The inconvenient journalist dismembered with a bone saw.) The US government's 'strong condemnation' apparently took two years to secure a travel ban lift, not freedom. This isn't just about Saudi
Arabia's medieval 'justice' system. It's about Washington's convenient amnesia. The Biden administration, which once vowed to treat Saudi Arabia as a 'pariah,' now regularly bends the knee for oil and arms deals. Remember when MBS allegedly ordered Khashoggi's killing? Now he's a 'strategic partner.' How many more US citizens must be silenced before our State Department finds its voice, or more
importantly, its spine?
