In Feb 2019, Saudi Arabia appointed Reema Bint Bandar as its ambassador to the United States - to mislead the international community about the human rights situation.
In conjunction with International Human Rights Day, and under the title: Laundry and manipulation are Saudi tools to cover up violations, the European Organisation for Human Rights is holding its third annual conference to support victims of Saudi violations on Friday and Saturday, December 9 and 10, 2022.
The organisation held its first conference in 2020 under the title: The world is paving the way for violators to be held accountable, while the second conference in 2021 focused on the execution file.
The 2022 conference will host several specialists, researchers and activists, and present testimonies of some of the victims of these violations.
The conference comes in light of the widening scope of violations in Saudi Arabia. In addition to the multiplication of execution numbers, Saudi Arabia has increased arbitrary sentences against male and female activists for exercising legitimate rights, in light of the continued torture and ill-treatment in prisons and the deep-rooted flaws in the judicial system.
Participants in the conference discuss this reality, in light of widespread washing campaigns led by official agencies in Saudi Arabia, from the Human Rights Commission to the Entertainment Commission, which used media, sports, diplomacy, business and entertainment to divert attention from violations.
The conference is trying to come up with recommendations to discuss the most successful ways to deal with these campaigns and official Saudi attempts and to support victims of violations.
