Is sexual abuse used as a weapon to silence women?



New reports allege female activists are tortured and abused in Saudi jails.


Rights groups say women's rights activists are subjected to appalling treatment in prisons in Saudi Arabia, including being flogged, electrocuted and sexually harassed.
The kingdom has been promising reform and more freedom for females. But reports by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch suggest that anyone speaking out was at a risk of being locked up and abused.
