not a major story in the US press: repression in Saudi Arabia: this activist won't be mentioned by Hillary or John Kerry or by fake US liberals

"Prominent Saudi lawyer and reform advocate Waleed Abulkhair was sentenced on Sunday to 15 years in prison and a 15-year travel ban to be applied after his release from jail for, among other things, "inciting public opinion against the government" and "insulting the country's leaders and judiciary," according to human rights activists in Saudi Arabia."
