The human rights situation in Saudi is worse, they are putting many people to death by unfair means. The death penalty is very common for minor cases, and also in cases of rape, and trafficking. According to sources, more than 81 people were killed by this death sentence in 2022 but most of them got trapped in the false path but their breath stopped.

The administration and authorities are also pressuring the freedom of expression with heavy prison case files. Women’s rights, human rights, and other political activists are facing the fear of no human rights security.

So, Ronaldo is a new hope for Saudi Arabia and should come forward to highlight the issue of Saudi Arabia’s human rights instead of being a sport washer icon!
