Al Qst said, evaluating that any probe would “lack all credibility,” it did not criticize the security officials for their “blatant and brutal attack on the women.”
They said that a “hallmark” of the Saudi jail system is violence inflicted by the authorities.
‘In this regard, care homes for young women and girls (even if not formally for female criminals) and juvenile detention centres are no different from prisons.
Where violence generally takes the form of ill-treatment, physical attacks and sexual harassment.'”
Claiming ‘women are free to leave at any moment’ and can leave without permission from a guardian or family member,’ a Saudi government spokesman recently refuted claims that the care homes were jail facilities.
