A British PhD student, Matthew Hedges, who does not speak a word of Arabic, spent six months in solitary confinement in Saudi Arabia after he was suspected of spying ! During that time his wife was allowed to make only one five minute visit.
Then yesterday in the space of five minutes he was tried for Spying and sentenced to imprisonment for life !
On October 6, 2018, after the assassination of Khashoggi in the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Turkey, this Blog suggested that UNO should discuss this murder ! Are countries permitted to kill anyone without a trial ? (1)
There has been a discussion, but UNO has not decided what action should be taken !Perhaps now the case of Matthew Hedges should also be considered !
Some countries, which have trading agreements with Saudi Arabia, could lead the way ! There are other Oil producing countries which would willingly replace the Arabians !

"Khashoggi murdered....who next ?" dated October 6, 2018.
