Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (HRNW)- In Saudi Arabia, authorities are increasingly targeting social media users and critics of rising living costs using anti-cybercrime laws. Reports indicate fines, detentions, and restrictions on those who speak against economic and welfare policies.
Human rights organizations warn that this crackdown is part of a wider suppression of dissent, despite government claims of reform. Experts emphasize that freedom of expression and protection against arbitrary detention remain critical challenges in the kingdom.
This growing pattern of restrictions has drawn international attention and calls for enhanced monitoring and accountability from global rights organizations.
