»Nach dem Ende der saudischen G20-Präsidentschaft hat die Verfolgung von Oppositionellen wieder zugenommen«
Bericht von Amnesty International, 3.8.2021 (engl. Originalfassung)
Following Saudi Arabia’s presidency of the G20 which culminated in the November 2020 summit, the Saudi Arabian authorities resumed punitive trials of human rights defenders and other dissidents, particularly before the Specialized Criminal Court (SCC), and their use of the death penalty. The months during which Saudi Arabia hosted the G20 summit had seen a lull in trial proceedings of human rights defenders and dissidents before the SCC and other Criminal Courts, as well as a marked drop in the use of the death penalty.
