Some people were let go entirely with the equivalent of a warning.

Nearly all spent days or weeks detained at the Ritz without any charge or clear idea of what crimes they were expected to answer to.

Some were certainly executed, although it's impossible for us to make any clear estimates about how many people suffered want punishments.

The crime was bugging him.

It was bugging him.

The crime was bugging him.

Bugging him.

Yeah.

Bugging him or other people like you.

Yes.

The two great crimes.

On June 24th, 2018, Saudi Arabia officially lifted its ban on women driving.

Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, fresh off being released from the Ritz, praised the move on social media and went on a public drive with his daughter and granddaughter.

He tweeted, There is no doubt that the thoughts of my brother Mohammed bin Salman led to this great result.

Women have now taken off, gotten their freedom.

That's all they needed was to drive.

But that May, mere weeks earlier, MBS's police had carried out a massive crackdown on women's rights activists.

Ten women and seven men, at least, were arrested over their work campaigning to end the driving ban that Mohammed bin Salman himself had ordered ended.

From an article in The Guardian, Amnesty said that according to three testimonies it obtained, some of the activists were repeatedly given electric shocks and flogged, leaving some unable to walk or stand properly.

In one instance, an activist was hung from the ceiling.
