On this day in 2012, Dawoud Al Marhoon (1995 - ), was arrested and indefinitely detained by the Saudi Arabian government after refusing to spy on anti-state protesters during the Arab Spring. After 10 years in prison, he was released in 2022.

After being arrested for participating in the Arab Spring protests, the Saudi authorities tortured him for weeks and refused to allow him to communicate with anyone on the outside world. For two weeks, Dawoud's family had no idea where Saudi authorities were holding him, and he was prevented from speaking to a lawyer.

In September of 2015, al-Marhoon was sentenced to death, to be carried out by beheading and crucifixion. Secrecy surrounding Saudi's execution practices prevented the family or the prisoner from receiving prior notification on when the execution would have been carried out.

According to the Middle East Monitor, al-Marhoon was released on February 2nd, 2022, having served nearly ten years in prison.

We had a lunch lecture where this environmental scientist gave a talk about critical materials and how big of a problem our reliance on these are. He links the whole thing up with politics pretty well, explaining how various political actors are involved and benefit from this or that.

At some point, he even mentions how in the netherlands, policy doesn't get passed without a buy-in from industry. It means quite a lot, cause this guy is government hired in recommending policies.

Then he contradicts himself in the next paragraph by saying that this is the curse of democracy that people make stupid decisions.

I ask this guy about the contradiction. How you simultaneously harp about profits over needs, the evils of consultancy firms, and the inability of the Dutch government to do anything but pursue corporate interests, while also talking about the problems of "democracy"?

He just tells me "we are a democracy that's why the Dutch government listens to industry". Well not exactly that, but at least that's the message I get when he talks about all the corporate controlled parties winning the elections and how that's what the people chose.

Dude is this close to realising that the definition of liberal democracy is "legitimised rule by corporations" .

Of course, the lecture ends with a book recommendation for a book about the collapse of human civilisation. And a recommendation to go vote and participate in political parties.

Unlimited death upon elections.
