Zana Al-Shahri

al‑Shahri, a Saudi journalist and blogger, was arrested in November 2019 during a broader crackdown on peaceful expression in Saudi Arabia. Known for her online posts supporting political reform and advocating for a constitutional monarchy, al‑Shahri was detained without formal charges or trial. She has remained in incommunicado detention since her arrest, reportedly subjected to physical and psychological abuse, denied medical care, and cut off from family contact. As of 2025, she remains imprisoned, and her health is said to have deteriorated significantly.
