Princess Basmah is the youngest of the 108 children of the late King Saud and niece of the current King Salman. According to that source, he and the famous Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman are cousins. He is known as a human rights activist. He is one of the vocal defenders of the reform of the monarchy.
Princess Basmah claims that she is in captivity. He appealed to the current king and prince to release him and organize his treatment. He alleges that he was detained in Riyadh with one of his daughters without charge. Despite repeated appeals, the royal court, King Salman or Prince Mohammed bin Salman did not explain why he was detained. This princess says she did nothing wrong. He is still detained in al-Hayr prison. His state of health is very bad now.
However, two high-ranking members of the Saudi royal family have expressed surprise at the news of Princess Basmah’s arrest. One said that he had not heard of Princess Basmah in a year. Princess Basmah is sick, she thought. Another member of the royal family said he thought he had been placed under house arrest.
Princess Basmah is believed to have been detained while leaving Saudi Arabia for Switzerland in March last year with one of her daughters. He was not allowed to leave the country since he wanted to take a private jet for emergency treatment.
Princess Basmah has always openly expressed her demand for reform of the current system in Saudi Arabia. This princess, who is vocal in demanding women’s rights and human rights, has worked in the media for a very short time. He was in London for a few years. Later, he turned his attention to business. Princess Basmah returned to Saudi Arabia in late 2015. Since then, she has been a vocal critic of the aggressive role of the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen. He also called for radical reforms in Saudi Arabia.
Human Rights Watch believes that Prince Mohammed bin Salman is behind Princess Basmah’s imprisonment. Because he is silent on this matter. Rothna Begum, principal investigator on women’s rights at Human Rights Watch, said it was a testament to the secrecy surrounding many women in Saudi Arabia. It is clear that in the days of Prince Mohammed bin Salman no one had the right to speak.
An adviser to Prince Mohammed bin Salman was contacted to comment on Princess Basmah’s allegations. But he declined to comment.
