Ahead of President Biden's controversial trip to Saudi Arabia, the 2018 killing of Jamal Khashoggi still looms large.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's reputation as a brazen leader who has ruthlessly silenced critics and dissent will cast a shadow over his meeting on Friday with U.S. President Joe Biden.
"I always bring up human rights," Biden told reporters on the eve of his Saudi visit but stressed the purpose of his trip is"broader" and designed to"reassert" U.S. influence in the Middle East. She was arrested in mid-2018 with other women's rights activists, including Loujain al-Hathloul, just weeks before the kingdom lifted its ban on women driving. They were branded traitors by state-linked media and faced vague charges connected to their rights work.
Rights groups say the arrests are aimed at pressuring al-Jabri to return to the kingdom, where his former boss, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, apparently remains under some form of detention. His sister, Areej al-Sadhan, an American citizen living in California, says he was not an activist but was keenly aware as an aid worker of the economic challenges facing young Saudis.
