Wall Street Journal: Saudi Arabia Accused of Torturing Women’s-Rights Activists in Widening Crackdown on Dissent
Detainees have been lashed and given electric shocks in prison; at least one tried to commit suicide
Saudi security officers have tortured jailed women’s-rights activists as part of a government campaign to squelch criticism of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that began before last month’s killing of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to people familiar with the situation.
At least eight of the 18 women’s-rights activists detained by Saudi authorities this year have been tortured, including at least four who were subjected to electric shocks and lashings, according to two advisers to the Saudi royal family, activists and others with knowledge of the prisoners’ treatment.
At least one woman was sexually assaulted while others were subject to verbal sexual harassment, several of these people said, and one woman has tried to commit suicide multiple times.
“They were not the first to face this and won’t be the last,” said a Saudi official who wasn’t authorized to speak to the media.

For these Muslim subhumans it's not enough to throw women in prison for no good reason. They have to be tortured.
I never met a Muslim moron who wasn't a stupid fucking asshole.
