Saudi woman, Nourah al-Qahtani, has been sentenced to 45 years behind bars for her social media content

According to a human rights group, the activist was convicted on charges of “using the internet to tear the Saudi social fabric” and “violating public order.”

Not a lot is known about the nature of the posts, but human rights groups around the world are investigating.

However, it follows the Saudi Government cracking down on female activists who challenge its beliefs.

The conviction follows U.S. President Joe Biden’s visit with the Saudi Prince in July.
