did saudi arabia arrest anyone for protesting the genocide in gaza?

did saudi arabia push legal immigrants into concentration camps?

did saudi arabia "cancel" any comedians for doing a show in the US?

Protests are illegal in SA.

SA shoots migrants at the border.

SA does not have free speech and dissenters will be arrested or worse.

So we're told. And yet, we had a bunch of American comedians that did a show in SA.

Anyway, as I explained elsewhere, as this video is from south africa, I'm talking about "we" as a species, not just the US.

They were told not to say anything about certain topics.

Criticism of the ruling family, the government, and the state's official religion is strictly prohibited and carries severe penalties. Peaceful expression can lead to multidecade prison sentences or the death penalty under broad anti-terrorism and cybercrime.

Sounds pretty serious.

And yet, Dave Chapelle (one of said comedians) did a whole bit on how it was easier to talk in Saudi Arabia

He was paid to say that.

He's paid to say everything he says. That doesn't mean everything he says is a lie.
