Initially, the woman was sentenced to three years in prison, but later the court issued a new sentence – 34 years in prison.

A Saudi Arabian woman has been sentenced to 34 years in prison for setting up a Twitter account, following and retweeting dissidents. This was reported by The Guardian.

The verdict was handed down by the kingdom’s terror court weeks after US President Joe Biden’s visit to Saudi Arabia, which human rights activists warned could push the kingdom to step up its crackdown on pro-democracy activists.

It noted that 34-year-old Salma al-Shehab, a mother of two young children, was initially sentenced to three years in prison for “criminal” use of the Internet site to “cause public unrest and destabilize civil and National security.” However, the Court of Appeal handed down a new sentence – 34 years in prison, followed by a 34-year travel ban.

According to the publication, Shehab is not a leading or particularly active activist. He has 150 followers on Instagram and 2497 on Twitter.

Among tweets about being burned out by the coronavirus pandemic and photos of her young children, her page sometimes includes posts by Saudi dissidents living in exile who have called for the release of the kingdom’s political prisoners.

At the same time, the media wrote that the woman could still appeal.

It was earlier reported that in India, the police detained the most wanted criminal, who starred in films for 30 years.
