Saudi Arabia To Put Hunger-Striking Women’s Rights Activist Loujain Al-Hathloul On Trial

Saudi
Arabia will put women’s rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul on trial on
Wednesday, more than 900 days after she was detained, and just after the
country wrapped up hosting duties on a virtual G20 summit, her family have been
told.
Hathloul
is on hunger strike and has been held incommunicado for nearly a month. A UN
women’s rights committee recently expressed alarm about her failing health. Her
sister Lina al-Hathloul fears she is being pressured into giving false
confessions that could be used against her in court.
“I
am extremely worried and anxious about this trial. Everything about her case is
illegal and unjust,” Lina told the Guardian, pointing out that the family had
only been given one day’s notice of the court date.
“I
hope tomorrow will be the end of this nightmare,” she added. Previous planned
court appearances have been cancelled at the last minute.
Hathloul
was arrested with nine other women’s rights advocates in May 2018, months
before women were finally granted the right to drive. Her family, including her
sister, claim she has been tortured. At least five of those arrested remain in
jail.
Ahead
of the G20 summit – which had women’s empowerment as one of its themes – Saudi
Arabia’s ambassador to the UK had said the country was considering “clemency”
for jailed female activists, even though most have not been found guilty of any
crime or even had a day in court.
Khalid
bin Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud said a debate was under way in the
foreign ministry about whether their continued detention was causing Saudi
Arabia so much political damage that it was not worthwhile. However, the
meeting came and went without any of them being released.
The
US president, Donald Trump, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have
been close allies, their bond helping blunt international scrutiny of the
country’s handling of dissent and Saudi Arabia’s bloody intervention in Yemen.
The
looming transfer of presidential power to Joe Biden will increase pressure on
Riyadh over its human rights record. Violations range from the gruesome murder
of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in a Saudi consulate by a squad of state killers,
to detentions of women’s rights campaigners and death sentences for juvenile
offenders.
Biden
has promised to review US-Saudi relations, including Washington’s support for
the Saudi intervention in Yemen.
Business
ties will continue, however. US dependence on Saudi oil has fallen markedly as
a result of domestic shale gas production, but the kingdom’s political
stability is still a key US concern. The Saudi government sent a message of
congratulations to Joe Biden on Sunday.

KARACHI:
Aiming to make a mark in boxing rings, 47 boxers from various parts of Karachi
— aged 14 to 20 — are participating in a two-day Karachi women boxing
championship.
The
event has been organised by Sindh Boxing Association in collaboration with
Karachi's District Municipal Corporation South. Boxers from Karachi’s South,
West and Central districts are participating in the event.
On
the opening day of the championship, 15 bouts were held in which enthusiastic
female boxers displayed their fierce power, skill and passion to achieve
something.
“This
championship is the first step for them to achieve their dreams to do something
for the country,” said Asif Azeem, the organiser of the championship.
And,
what the dream is for these girls?
“To
win medals for Pakistan in all international events,” responded the girls.
“We
can be like Laila Ali, Marry Kom or any other top boxer. If they can do it, why
can’t we?” said a boxer participating in the tournament.
Boxing
was once one of the quickly growing sports in Pakistan but in the last few
years, the sport has faced decline due to lack of interest and usual-politics
at the helm of affairs in the Boxing Federation.
Pakistan
introduced female boxing in 2015 and Razia Banu emerged as first female boxing
star from Pakistan.
“It
is good to see girls getting interested in boxing, it is not just a sport but
can also help them in self-defense. They have role models in the likes of
Mehreen and Razia who’ve made the country proud,” said Asghar Baloch, the vice
president of the Pakistan Boxing Federation and a renowned boxing organiser.
“We
have around 100 girls in our pool at this moment but we are making all efforts
to increase this number as our target is to have at least 1,000 girls playing
this sport. In Karachi, Liyari has a good number of boxers and there are girls
from Balochistan and other parts of the country coming forward as well,” he
said.
Asghar
added that championships at the grass root level will help not only in
improving the standard of the game but also in promoting the game of boxing
among the masses.

Changing
Image Of Upper Egypt’s Women Is My Top Priority: Youngest Female MP
Sarah

Youngest
Egyptian female MP
-----
Egypt’s
ongoing House of Representatives elections saw a high number of women
candidates, with the 2021 Parliament set to have a commensurate high number of
female members.
In
the 2020 elections, several women have run for seats in the parliament under
both the individual and the list systems, and have made considerable gains
compared to the previous parliamentary elections in 2015.
In
2019, the Egyptian Parliament approved amendments to the Constitution that
included increasing the share of female parliamentary representation to 25% of
seats. The move is considered one of several positive steps aimed at improving
the conditions of women and empowering their role in the Egyptian society.
In
an October statement, the Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights (ECWR) said that a
total of 347 female candidates were running for individual seats in the 2020
House of Representative elections. Of this number, 303 were running as
independents and 44 were backed by political parties. Women accounted for 8.6%
of the total 4,006 candidates in the individual system.
There
are 280 women candidates running for elections under the party list system, out
of a total of 568 candidates, representing 49.5%, thus the total number of
female candidates becomes 627, the ECWR said.
Among
the female candidates in this year’s parliamentary elections is Fatmah Selim,
who has become the youngest female member of Parliament (MP) in Egypt after
winning in the first phase of elections.
As
a member of the Reform and Development Party, Selim took part in the National
Unified List for Egypt North, Central and Southern Upper Egypt, in an area
extending from Giza to Aswan.
Such
is her youth, she was able to submit her documents to apply for the House of
Representatives elections only ten days before the nominations door closed. She
was selected by her party as one of the members to run in the unified list for
the elections.
Selim
is not the only politically active member of her family, too, as her father,
Ahmed Mohsen Mubarak, is currently a member of the newly-formed Senate. He
belongs to another party.
Talking
to Daily News Egypt, Selim said that her decision to become an MP, and her
selection by the Reform and Development Party, was not initially part of her
plan. She said that it all was by coincidence, as she reached the eligible age
for candidacy only 10 days before closing the door for nomination.
She
said “People were so supportive and happy of my nomination, especially women,
not only because I am a woman, but also because I am young.”
Although
she did receive some negative comments on her candidacy, she added, “The
majority of men and women welcomed my nomination and this was surprising for me
especially as my constituency is in Upper Egypt, and I really found people
happy that there is a young woman in this position.”
Selim
started working with the Reform and Development Party whilst still a student at
university. She joined many of the party’s activities, including meetings and
seminars. In 2018, she graduated in 2018 from the Faculty of Mass
Communication.
“I
first worked with a company that works on producing short films and
documentaries on educational topics, most of which were sponsored by the United
Nations (UN),” Selim said, ”After graduation, I studied Arabic language at the
Al-Ahram Institute to improve as I wanted to work as TV presenter, and in late
2018, I started working as a news presenter at the AlHadath AlYoum channel.”
Regarding
her work plan, she said that she will be focusing on three topics: women,
youth, and human rights.
“There
are certain problems in the government which I will shed light on, and there
are other general issues which exist nationwide,” she said, “Once I join
parliament, I would prefer to join the media and culture committee, since I am,
foremost, a media person, or I would like to be a member of a women’s or human
rights committee.”
She
added that women’s empowerment is the top, and most important, priority in her
work plan.
“Women
everywhere always face the challenge of what they are able to do, and in Upper
Egypt, women are struggling to find work, as men are more preferred for roles
outside the home,” Selim said
She
said that changing this image of women is an important step towards women’s
empowerment, and it has been aided by people now being able to see for
themselves women making progress in terms of their work. This is particularly
in the form of women leading highly successful ministries in Egypt, which has
significantly contributed to women’s empowerment in Egypt.
“An
awareness is also part of my plan, which has already been evidenced in a larger
number of women becoming aware of their rights and who have started to speak up
about their rights, such as documenting harassment,” Selim said, “Despite many
women recognising that they can reject anything that they don’t want, there are
still females who don’t know this, and this is our role to let them know and be
fully aware.”
She
added, “During my campaign, I visited people in several areas of Upper Egypt
that are part of my constituency, where I talked to females about the challenges
they face, with the issue of finding work opportunities a real issue for them.”
She
noted that the women of her constituency mostly complained about the difficulty
in finding work in their city, and when they usually do find it, the employment
is either outside their city or with low salaries and long working hours.
“Unemployment
will also be in my work agenda, even though it’s a big file and has a lot of
aspects,” Selim said, “Many have faced problems of being rejected from work
opportunities due to a lack of experience. But how can people get experience
when no one wants to give them the chance to work?”
Selim
added that she has also suffered from the issue of unemployment following her
graduation, noting that “I can understand these concerns and I will work on
limiting it in my constituency.”
There
are some companies that hire people but train them first before work, she
suggested saying that companies should invest more in training students and
graduates.
On
the other hand, there is a large group of youth who want to work a certain job,
for a variety of reasons, and this is a misconception which will be worked on
to correct, as they have to be open to try different things.
On
her evaluation of the role of women in the 2015 parliament, Selim said having
extra seats for women in parliament is impressive. There were also a lot of
young women who were nominated for individual seats this year, which too is
impressive.
This
also happened in 2015, with that year’s parliamentary elections seeing many
females run for individual seats. Female MPs, such as Dina Abdelaziz who worked
hard to play a beneficial role for her constituents, became some of the most
influential parliamentarians in the 2015 elections.
Abdelaziz
proved her critics wrong, disproving the comments of some who said that women
join parliament and take the membership, but do not do anything later.
Speaking
on the challenges that MPs face, Selim said the most important of these is
understanding people’s issues and getting them to understand the MP’s role
correctly. This would then do much to help MPs work on solving the issues seen
across Egypt.
She
also pointed out that there is a misconception about the role of MPs, as
members who are running for individual seats are only working for their constituency.
On the other hand, those who join the party lists, such as Selim, need to
undertake more of an effort as they are running for several areas.
She
also added that people should know that members cannot hire them in jobs, but
can help them to gain the necessary qualifications for jobs, and offer them
work opportunities.
“I
will also focus on youth, that’s why I was nominated in these elections, to
have a seat for youth. I am their age, I have lived and still live the same
issues as them, and I can express them well,” Selim said.

Egypt
urged to release two women whose pretrial detention has expired
24
November 2020
The
pretrial detentions of Egyptian lawyer and human rights defender Hoda
Abdelmonem and political prisoner Aisha al-Shater have expired, Amnesty
International has said, calling for their immediate release.
Abdelmonem
and Shater had been arrested on 1 November 2018 and went missing until they
appeared at the Supreme State Security Prosecution in Cairo a few weeks later
on 21 November.
On
Saturday, the two women completed two years in provisional detention, and
therefore must be released, says Amnesty.
“Their
detention has bypassed the absolute legal limit set forth by article 143 of the
code of criminal procedures,” said Hussein Bayoumi, Egypt researcher at Amnesty
International.
“That
being said, their detention has always been unlawful,” he told MEE.
According
to article 143, the maximum two-year limit is only applicable if the detainee
was facing charges that could see them sentenced to death or life in prison.
But if the detainees were facing charges in a felony punishable by less than
life in prison, the maximum limit was 18 months, Bayoumi explained.
“We
call on Egyptian authorities to release Hoda and Aisha, as their detention was
arbitrary in the first place,” he said.
It
is common for Egyptian authorities to continue to hold detainees even after the
end of their pretrial detention period. Many had new cases brought against them
with almost identical charges, in a practice referred to by rights lawyers as
“recycling cases”.
Abdelmonem,
61, is a prominent human rights lawyer and activist who had a leading role in the
2011 revolution that ousted longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak. She is a former
member of the National Council on Human Rights.
Shater,
39, is a human rights activist and had been involved in activities in support
of families of political prisoners prior to her detention.
The
arrests came as part of a wave of detentions that targeted nearly 40 human
rights workers in Cairo.
They
were charged with “belonging to an organisation established contrary to the
law” and “inciting to harm the national economy".
Life
at risk
According
to Amnesty International, officials at al-Qanater prison have denied Abdelmonem
visits or other contacts with her family since her detention. Her relatives
only saw her briefly on 18 July 2020, during a court hearing.
On
3 November, the African Commission for Human and Peoples’ Rights sent a letter
to the Egyptian state urging it to allow temporary measures for Abdelmonem, in
accordance with article 98 of the commission's rules of procedure, which
entitles her to obtain urgent medical attention for fear of irreparable harm to
her health.
The
letter stated that Abdelmonem had been deprived of family visits as well as
proper healthcare, even though she suffers from chronic deep vein thrombosis
with high blood pressure and severe joint infections, which saw her health
deteriorate further.
She
also showed symptoms of angina which were not dealt with urgently and
appropriately due to the absence of a specialised prison doctor, according to
the letter signed by the chair of the African Commission, Solomon Ayele Dersso.
Likewise,
rights groups have previously warned that Shater was at risk of premature death
in prison due to her deteriorating health and lack of medical care.
Amnesty
International reported in November last year that Shater was critically ill but
was denied medical care.
Abdelmonem
and Shater are among at least 60,000 political prisoners detained since
President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi came to power in 2014 after leading a coup
against his predecessor Mohamed Morsi.
Sisi
has overseen a crackdown on critics from across the political spectrum, with
thousands forced to live in exile and hundreds losing their lives in custody
due to medical negligence, including Morsi.

A
Yazidi Woman Searches For Her Lost Daughter, Kidnapped By ISIS 6 Years Ago
JANE
ARRAF
NOVEMBER
24, 2020
At
an orphanage in Mosul, Iraq, the woman and the girl sitting on the long, gray
sofa communicate mostly through touch — the girl leans against the woman,
playing with her blue bead bracelet. The woman smiles as she removes the
bracelet and puts it on the child’s own slender wrist.
There
isn’t a lot of conversation between Kamo Zandinan, 40, and the 10-year-old girl
she believes is her lost daughter. The girl, believed to have been kidnapped by
ISIS when she was four, was raised by an Arab family. Zandinan, who is Yazidi,
speaks only rudimentary Arabic — learned when she was forced to live among ISIS
fighters who enslaved her in Syria six years ago.
Zandinan
is sure that the girl, found in Mosul in March, is her daughter Sonya. The
girl, until now, has only known herself as an Arab named Noor.
A
DNA test will confirm whether there’s a match.
“God
willing, we will get the results soon and you will have the best daughter,”
orphanage director Amal Zaki Abdullah tells Zandinan. She assures her that the
girl is quiet and well-behaved. “Reunions make us very happy,” she says. “God
only knows what misery and sadness they have been through.”
Abdullah
urges the girl to tell Zandinan about her art classes. In a soft voice, she
reports she has drawn “flowers, a panda and a house.”
So
far, this orphanage, currently home to 21 children, has reunited three other
Yazidi children kidnapped by ISIS with their families. It posts photos of the
children on Facebook and on local television, and follows up with DNA tests for
possible relatives who come forward.
Zandinan
examines the girl’s arm, looking for a small scar from a minor injury from a
time when her family was intact before ISIS entered their Sinjar region of
northern Iraq.
In
the summer of 2014, she was a mother of six with a seventh on the way. Her
husband Khalil was an Iraqi soldier.
ISIS
roared into Iraq and Syria that August, slaughtering almost everyone who
opposed it. They declared members of the ancient Yazidi religious minority
infidels and embarked on a campaign of genocide. ISIS killed Yazidi men,
enslaved women and kidnapped children, seeking to erase their Yazidi identity.
Several
thousand Yazidis were believed to have been killed and more than 6,000 women
and children were captured after Kurdish forces in charge of security withdrew.
To this day, almost 3,000 Yazidis remain missing.
Zandinan’s
husband and eldest son were taken away; she believes they were shot. ISIS
fighters also took two of her daughters — Suzan, 13, and Sonya, 4 — ripping the
younger girl screaming from her arms.
Zandinan
and her four remaining children, then ranging in age from 3 years old to
teenagers, were resettled in Canada as refugees three years ago. There, in
March, she saw a Facebook photo sent by relatives, showing a girl found by
Iraqi police in Mosul, rescued from an Arab family. Police have occasionally
found Yazidi children as they look for ISIS fighters.
This
child had Zandinan’s distinctive nose and the scar that her mother says she
recognized.
A
Canadian refugee resettlement organization agreed to pay for her ticket to
return to Iraq. After pandemic restrictions eased in October, Zandinan flew to
Baghdad with her two youngest children — six- and eight-year-old boys — for DNA
tests to help determine whether the girl in the photo was hers. Two weeks after
they arrived, the family gave more blood samples to try to identify Zandinan’s
husband and eldest son Sufian from the remains exhumed from mass graves in
Sinjar, filled with ISIS victims.
Her
young sons, who now speak English better than their native language, don’t
remember their father or eldest sibling. To them, Iraq is just the country they
come from.
Like
many Yazidi girls from poor families, Zandinan never went to school. Her first
classes of any kind were the English lessons she took after she arrived in
Canada.
The
prospect of having her daughter back — she has no doubt of it — fills her with
joy. But returning to Iraq has been difficult.
“Hard,
hard, hard,” she says in her rudimentary English when asked what it was like to
see her empty house and deserted village for the first time since ISIS overran
it.
Zandinan
says in 2014, the family twice made it to safety on Sinjar Mountain, where
hundreds of Yazidis escaped ISIS. The first time, they received a warning from
ISIS that if they didn’t return to their village, the fighters would kill all
the young men still left there.
The
second time, a trusted Arab friend persuaded the family to go back to their
village and stay.
“He
betrayed us,” she says in Kurmanji, which is spoken by Yazidis in Sinjar. “He
told us, ‘Don’t go, I will help you and bring you food and I won’t let anyone
touch us.’ So we returned and ISIS took us — we were more than 10 families.”
A
few weeks after she and her family were captured and taken to the Iraqi city of
Tel Afar, Zandinan gave birth in the house they were held in. Then, at
gunpoint, ISIS took away her husband and eldest son.
“We
knew they would separate us,” she says. “The only thing we wanted is to finish
another day together — we never knew when it was going to happen.”
That
was the day she lost Sonya too.
“The
same day they took my husband and son, they gathered all of us in the yard,”
she says. “They were going to kill all of us, but they sold some of us
instead.”
Zandinan
says her daughter Suzan, taken from her a few days later, was known for being
unusually pretty, with delicate features and a heart-shaped face.
“I
told them she is sick, but they tore her clothes in front of me,” says
Zandinan. “It was so difficult to see her in that situation … We were holding
onto each other but they beat me with a stick and she fell on the ground and I
couldn’t do anything.”
“Suzan
was crying and screaming, saying, ‘Mother, don’t leave me!'” Zandinan recalls,
tears running down her face.
ISIS
took Zandinan and her remaining children to the Syrian city of Raqqa, where she
was bought and sold by a succession of ISIS fighters, including a Syrian and a
Western fighter. She says some of the fighters beat the children. She tried to
escape three times before relatives in Iraq managed to borrow money to pay
smugglers to rescue her.
ISIS
was defeated in Mosul, the capital of its self-declared caliphate, in a 2017
battle that flattened entire sections of the city. Iraqi forces are now firmly
in charge, but most Yazidis are still afraid to go back.
Making
the four-hour trip to the orphanage from a camp for displaced Yazidis where
Zandinan stays depends on getting a ride or borrowing money for transportation.
Her journey to Iraq this year has meant not only navigating the city where so
many Yazidis were enslaved and suffered, but also trying to navigate the court
system.
On
the October day when she visited the Mosul orphanage, Zandinan also went to
court to give power of attorney to her cousin, a shepherd, in case she had to
return to Canada to care for her other children. The judge — seemingly unaware
of what had happened to thousands of Yazidi women under ISIS — asked her why
she spoke Arabic with a Syrian accent.
Three
years after ISIS was defeated, thousands of Yazidi women and children remain
missing. Some, enslaved and held by ISIS fighters, are believed to have been
killed in battles across northern Iraq and Syria. But hundreds of others are
thought to be living still with the families of ISIS members.
The
younger children among them have forgotten they are Yazidi, if they ever knew
it at all. There is no systematic effort by Iraqi authorities to screen
children in camps housing displaced families who include ISIS members’
relatives.
Zandinan
believes Suzan is still alive — living with an ISIS family like Sonya was,
perhaps even still in Mosul.
“If
there was serious help, I could find her,” she says. “I don’t know where she
is, but my heart tells me she never left Iraq.”

Pakistan’s
first female fighter pilot remembered on martyrdom anniversary
Nov
25, 2020
ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan’s first female fighter pilot, Marium Mukhtiar, was remembered on her
fifth martyrdom anniversary on Tuesday.
24-year-old
Mukhtiar, a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Flying Officer, became the first female
pilot to have died on a mission when an air force’s trainer jet crashed near
Kundian, Mianwali in 2015.
An
FT-7PG flown by Squadron Leader Saqib Abbasi and co-pilot Mukhtiar was on a
routine operational training mission when it encountered an in-flight emergency
during the final stages of the mission, a PAF statement said at the time.
“Both
pilots handled the emergency with professionalism and courage and tried to save
the aircraft till the last minute, ensuring [the] safety of property and the
civilian population on the ground,” it had said.
The
pilots ejected from the aircraft and sustained injuries. They were being
treated at a nearby military hospital, where Mukhtiar succumbed to her injuries.
Mukhtiar
was born in Karachi on May 18, 1992. Her father, Mukhtiar Ahmed Shaikh, who had
retired from Pakistan Army as a colonel, became an inspiration for her to join
the armed forces.
She
rose to become one of the finest female football players in the country and
played for Balochistan United in the National Women’s Football Championship.
Mukhtiar
joined the air force in 2014 as a graduate. She was from the force’s 132nd GD
Pilot Course, which was attended by six other women.
She
was among 21 female fighter pilots in the air force, which only began inducting
women in combat roles in 2006, a New York Times report said at the time.
In
a 2014 interview with BBC, Mukhtiar talked about the challenges of being a
female pilot in a male-dominated environment.
She
had said she had joined the air force because she was inspired by the “pomp”
and wanted to do “something different.”
She
also said her mother had been concerned about her decision to join the force
but had supported her throughout.
Pakistan
is a highly traditional, patriarchal society where opportunities for women are
limited. But in 2006 seven women broke into one of the country’s most exclusive
male clubs to graduate as fighter pilots – perhaps the most prestigious job in
the powerful military and for six decades closed to them.
It
is unclear how many women have joined the air force as fighter pilots since
then. A New York Times report in June put the figure at 21.
Mukhtiar
was honoured with post-humous Tamgha-e-Basalat on March 23, 2016, by the government
of Pakistan.
