As per news report of NDTV, Nourah bint Saeed al-Qahtani, who hails from one of the biggest tribes in Saudi Arabia and has no apparent history of activism, was sentenced to prison to almost half a century in prison after the judge accused her of "disrupting the cohesion of society" and "destabilizing the social fabric" via social media, Fox News reported. The judge also ruled that al-Qahtani "offended the public order through the information network." It remains unclear what al-Qahtani posted online or where her hearing was held.
