What happened to Saudi Arabia’s “massive plans” to invest in Newcastle? 

 

 


LISTEN TO THE VICTIMS - PUBLIC MEETING IN NEWCASTLE WITH LINA AL-HATHLOUL


Lina is a leading Saudi Human Rights Activist, now head of monitoring and advocacy for ALQST. Her sister, Loujain, was arrested, brutally tortured, and forcibly disappeared for months. Loujain was sentenced as a terrorist for fighting for women's rights in Saudi Arabia.

With St. James’ Park set to host the Saudi Arabian national team, we are honoured to welcome her to Newcastle to tell her story and speak on behalf of the victims of this brutal regime which owns our club.

A member of the Newcastle branch of Amnesty International talks to us about some of the human rights abuses taking place in Saudi Arabia, Nic McGeehan of FairSquare talks about the political implications of Saudi Arabia's investment in Newcastle, while John and Andrew talk about our group, their support for Newcastle United, and how that has been affected by the Saudi takeover of our club.

Help us to hold more events like this in future.
