CDHR’s Analysis And Commentaries

Florida Carnage, Intensifying Domestic Oppression and Hunting Rights Advocates

The Class Room Butchery in Florida

CDHR Commentary: The responses to the tragic rampage in an aviation classroom in Florida on Friday, December 6, 2019, when three American patriots and a Saudi terrorist lost their lives and twelve other people were wounded, bear a resemblance to previous reactions from officials, media and experts: let’s not jump to a conclusion and accuse the Saudis of terrorism. This response is one of America’s reassuring democratic trademarks and justice traditions: a person is innocent until proven guilty. The opposite is the trademark of the Saudi system.

Has the U.S. Become Fertile Ground for Hunting Saudi Rights Advocates?

CDHR Commentary: As this report details, the heir to the Saudi throne (President Trump’s and family’s trusted ally,) Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is not deterred by the gruesome murder of Jamal Khashoggi and the global outraged reactions it generated against the country and its voiceless population.

Like anti-freedom of choice and other violators of human rights, the scrounging Saudi royals did not invent the U.S.’s abandonment of its historical moral and democratic leadership; they not only take advantage of it, but ensured that its architects’ blessings for their cruelty against their people, especially those who promote equality, free expression and social justice is a done deal.

 Saudi Rulers: Trampling on the Best Hope for a Stable and Peaceful Country  

CDHR Commentary: As this and a multitude of other accounts demonstrate, King Salman and his son, Crown Prince Mohammed, consider far-sighted Saudi scholars, writers, civil society and peaceful human rights activists, especially women, more dangerous than terrorists. Thinkers and highly educated non-sectarian promoters of humane and stabilising values, like civil society leader Mohammed Al-Qahtani (no relation to Prince Mohammed’s hatchet man, Saud Al-Qahtani,) Aman Al-Nafjan, Aziza Al-Yousef, Lujain Al-Hathloul, cleric Salman Aloudah, Raif and sister Samar Badawi and her husband Waleed, Hamza Kashgari and tens of other patriotic Saudis are either languishing in Saudi dungeons and subjected to unspeakable  treatment or confined to their high-walled homes for promoting gradual peaceful political reforms. These reformers and millions of Saudis crave transformation of the absolute dynastic Saudi rule to a pluralistic system where people are protected by non-tribal and sectarian rule of law.   Read more: www.cdhr.info
