To those who reckon that a seat for Saudi Arabia in UN Human Rights Council and UN women's rights commission means nothing and won't cause harm. Watch this video from Human Rights Council session on the 23 June 2014. The Saudi state representative was bluntly requesting from Madam VP to silence the voice of a civil society actor criticising the deteriorating human rights record in the Kingdom - particularly the case of imprisoned reformists, Raif Badawi and Waleed Abu Alkhair. Very intimidating!
