Demand Freedom for Manahel

Manahel al-Otaibi is a 29-year old fitness instructor facing over a decade behind bars in Saudi Arabia. She was arrested for tweeting about women’s rights and posting photos of herself without an abaya, a traditional robe.

Her case was taken to a Saudi court notorious for unfair trials, where she was given a prison sentence for “terrorist offenses.”

Her family hasn't heard from her since December, and Saudi authorities refuse to share her whereabouts. But when she last spoke with her family, she told them she was being held in solitary confinement and had been brutally beaten, leaving her with a broken leg and no medical treatment. 

We urgently need your help: demand that Saudi authorities immediately release Manahel and drop all charges against her.
