RIYADH - Prominent women activists on trial in Saudi Arabia told a court on Wednesday they had been subjected to torture during more than nine months of detention, sources familiar with the matter said, in a case that has sharpened Western criticism of the kingdom.
Sitting near their families inside Riyadh’s criminal court, some of the women described to a three-judge panel the mistreatment they had experienced, the sources said. “He’s the one who should be in court today, not my sister,” Walid al-Hathloul told CNN after Wednesday’s session. Three dozen countries, including all 28 EU members, Canada and Australia, have called on Riyadh to free the activists. British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt and his U.S. counterpart both raised the issue during recent visits to the kingdom.

The U.S. has a problem in Saudi Arabia, and it’s still not being fixedAlmost six months after Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, the man who appears to have ordered his killing is President Trump’s closest ally in the Arab world.
