Saudi Arabia | Sentences Teacher to 20 Years Over Tweets
Saudi Arabia’s counterterrorism tribunal sentenced Asaad al-Ghamdi, a 47-year-old teacher, to 20 years in prison for social media activity that challenged “the religion and justice of the King and Crown Prince.” Al-Ghamdi’s posts included criticism of Vision 2030, a nationwide economic overhaul, and tweets mourning a deceased fellow activist, which resulted in law enforcement raiding his home at night and arresting him in front of his family. Al-Ghamdi was then held in solitary confinement for months and was refused proper care despite suffering from epilepsy. Similarly, his brother, Mohammed Al-Ghamdi, was convicted in 2023 over tweets linked to an anonymous Twitter account that criticized the regime’s economic policies and called for the release of political prisoners. For this, he was sentenced to death. Both of these sentences are part of Saudi Arabia’s repression of free expression and stifling of civil society, as evidenced by the regime going so far as to target dissidents' families to force compliance. HRF has called for the Al-Ghamdi brothers' immediate release and access to necessary medical care. FinancialFreedomReport.org

Russia | Woman On Trial for Pro-Ukraine Donation
During a family visit in Yekaterinburg, Russia, Ksenia Karelina, a Russian-American ballerina who lives in Los Angeles, Calif., was arrested by Russian authorities. Her crime? Making a $51.80 donation to a pro-Ukraine charity is deemed an act of treason under Russian law. Her trial will be held in August. If found guilty, she faces a potential 20-year prison sentence. Karelina’s case illustrates the severe measures dictator Vladimir Putin enforces against any form of financial aid, even modest amounts, to opposition movements. It highlights why Russian human rights groups like the Anti-Corruption Foundation have found it useful to receive payments in Bitcoin to help protect the identities of their donors. - FinancialFreedomReport.org

Obviously BTC and Nostr will win
Stay Humble and Stack Sats. Love to all. Bright Orange Future. Setting up Nostr access account in a few when my node is properly running. Freedom Tech is the path
Stop drinking water with ice while podding
Listening to someone do anything besides speaking words is incredibly annoying
Stay Humble Stack Sats
Great Advice!
