It is over 20 years under house arrest for Sahar, Hala, Jawaher & Maha.
Beside some lip service & despite all the media efforts, the UK & US governments & most international powers failed to intervene enough to secure their freedom. The UN agency OHCHR was officially contacted.
.2/ At the time, the four women had been held against their will for 13 years, according to their mother Alanoud Alfayez who lived in London.
A social & international media blitz about the women’s ordeal proceeded, with both Sahar & Jawaher leading the way.
Then came a silence.
.3/ Soon after & with no warning, the voices of the three women were silenced, their twitter accounts suspended & news of their well being & fate came to an end.
It is now 7 years since I first broke that story & since we last heard from any of them.
4/ Given all the above, how long do you think before #PrincessLatifa’s case all but withers. She hasn’t been heard of or from in over a year.
Nothing either has been heard from the four Saudi princesses since 2014.
