Saudi princess calls for uprising against ruling regime

‘KSA must end abusing citizens’ rights’
One of the daughters of Saudi King Abdullah has called on people across the kingdom to rise against the ruling regime.
The eldest daughter, Sahar, who is under house arrest along with three of her sisters in the city of Jeddah, said in a video message that victory is theirs.
“Greetings to martyrs and to free men in jail. It is an honor for me to learn the meaning of freedom, rights and dignity from you revolutionary people,” the 42-year-old Saudi princess said.
“We promise to follow in your footsteps and not to let go of your hands. God’s hand will be above us. We learn determination from Ayatollah Nimr al-Nimr, the Sheikh of free men. For this reason, we will press ahead on the path by our own will,” she added.
She was referring to prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, who was arrested over calls for the release of political prisoners.
Sheikh Nimr was attacked, injured and arrested by Saudi security forces en route to his house in the Qatif region of Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province in July 8, 2012.
“And we will become victorious with faith in God. Good luck, you who have honored us by raising the flags of freedom. Your sisters, Sahar and Jawahir,” Sahar stated in the message.
Sahar, Maha, Hala and Jawaher Al Saud are daughters of Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, who are reportedly being confined against their will.
On April 20, Sahar told the New York Post in a phone call that “we are cut off and isolated and alone.”
“We are hostages. No one can come see us, and we can’t go see anyone. Our father is responsible and his sons, our half-brothers, are both culprits in this tragedy,” she added.
The princess described their living quarters as “ruins,” saying that she and her sisters are beaten by sticks by men including their “half-brothers.”

1. When I first heard of this I was sceptical but then I saw the actual video and saw the princess speak and yes it is indeed correct.
2. When the King's own daughter is against him then he is in trouble.
3. The "King", Abdullah Al-Saud has different options including:
a: Imprison her completely (i.e. deny her access to the internet and making videos).
b: Eliminate her.
c: Exile her - where she will be even more vociferous and an embarassment
Option "a" would make people wonder if she is still alive.
Option "b" would turn the whole world including many Saudis themselves (as well as possibly the tribe that the princess' mother is from) against the regime.
One thing is clear the current way that the Saud tribe are ruling is unsustainable not just in the long-term but in the medium term if not short-term itself.
The Saudi youth will see the King's own daughter is speaking out against him, so why should they not do the same.
I do not support the overthrow of the Saud tribe. Why? Because like Libya, Iraq etc it will create a vaccum of instability. I do however support change and greater social justice and rights but in an organized and orderly manner not causing instability and chaos.
However the Saudis should now start behaving themselves and stop supporting radicals and extremists all over the world including the Jamaat e Islami terror organization in Bangladesh, or karma will come back to strike them.
By the way if anyone doubts how true this story is, play the video and watch the princess speak. If you don't understand Arabic ask someone who does.
