Nobody will even tell me where my husband's body is being kept.
April 23, 2019 started out like any other day—until I read in the news that my husband, Abbas al-Hassan, had been executed. I had received no warning from the government, so I felt shock, as much as anguish. I spent the day trying to piece together information about what had happened to him and the other 36 men killed.
Officers there tortured him—blindfolding, beating, and threatening him until he signed a false confession. My husband was a good man and a wonderful father. This is how Saudi Arabia treats hundreds of innocent people. My husband told the court that his signed confession was the result of torture, but—as is common practice in Saudi Arabia—the court ignored this.
