*•* *A rare execution, even for Saudi Arabia.*
The kingdom is seeking the death penalty for a 29-year-old female human
rights activist, Israa al-Ghomgham, above, for instigating protests. While
Saudi Arabia has one of the highest execution rates in the world, calling
for capital punishment for a woman in a nonviolent case is extremely
unusual.

Ms. Ghomgham’s case “sets a dangerous precedent for other women activists
currently behind bars,” Human Rights Watch said.
It is yet another example of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s crackdown
on dissent, poking holes in the reformist image he has been seeking.
Separately, Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil giant, Aramco, suspended plans
to go public

a deal that would have been the biggest initial offering on record.
