Campaigners have declared that Saudi Arabia joining the UN Human Rights Council would be a 'slap in the face' to abuse victims ahead of a vote tomorrow.
The warning came after it was revealed the Kingdom has carried out a record number of executions this year under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The Saudi Arabian government has continued to attempt to present itself as a reformed country that has made progress on gender equality and human rights, despite figures revealing at least 208 people have been put to death in the Middle Eastern nation in 2024 so far.
The brutal regime has also served lengthy prison sentences to several women, often during secret trials, after they were caught using social media to advocate for more rights and freedoms for women.
One such woman, Manahel al-Otaibi, 30, was sentenced to 11 years in prison for 'terrorist offences' after the Saudi Arabian fitness instructor posted messages about female empowerment online.
This week, Manahel told her family she had been stabbed in the face with a sharp pen and required stitches - but when her family attempted to report the attack to the Saudi government's Human Rights Commission, they were allegedly ignored.
