Saudi women activists back in court, temporary release ruling expected

RIYADH - Nearly a dozen prominent Saudi women activists returned to court on Wednesday to face charges related to their human rights work and contacts with foreign journalists and diplomats, in a case that has intensified Western criticism of a key Mideast ally.

Riyadh’s criminal court had been expected to rule earlier this week on requests for temporary releases for the other women, but sources familiar with the case said the decision had been postponed until Wednesday’s hearing. The reason was unclear.The trial, now in its third session, has drawn global attention to the kingdom’s rights record, which was already in the spotlight following the murder last year of journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul.

Yet it remains to be seen if Riyadh will bend to international pressure or pursue harsh sentences in a case critics say has revealed the limits of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s promises to modernise Saudi Arabia.
