Three Men Sentenced To Death In Saudi Arabia For Resisting "Displacements" In Neom Project.

Three men have been sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia for resisting "displacements" in Neom project site by Saudi Arabia’s Specialised Criminal Court (SCC), according to a report by ALQST, an independent human rights organization.

The organization reported that the three men, Shadli al-Huwaiti, Ibrahim al-Huwaiti and Ataullah al-Huwaiti, had been sentenced to death on October 2 after being "forcibly evicted and displaced to make way for the Neom mega project".

The $500 billion Neom mega project is currently under construction in the Tabuk Province of northwestern Saudi Arabia.

The three men were convicted on 2 October by Saudi Arabia’s Specialised Criminal Court for organizing against the forced eviction program of the local people who criticized the $500 billion Neom mega project and came into force to pave the way for its construction.

According to ALQST, "even before the April 2020 killing of Abdul Rahim al-Huwaiti, other members of the Huwaitat tribe had been arrested for refusing to be evicted from their homes, and others have been arrested since."

"Some have been sentenced to extraordinary prison terms: Abdullah and Abdulilah al-Huwaiti were each sentenced in August 2022 to 50 years," said ALQST.

The three men are members of the Huwaitat tribe, a tribe has largely given up nomadic lifestyle and live in villages.

"These shocking sentences once again show the Saudi authorities' callous disregard for human rights, and the cruel measures they are prepared to take to punish members of the Huwaitat tribe for legitimately protesting against forced eviction from their homes," said ALQST's Head of Events Abdullah Aljuraywi.

The organization reported that Ibrahim al-Huwaiti, one of the members of the group, was one of the local residents' delegation in Tabuk province that met with Saudi government officials in 2020 to secure the Neom land.

Ataullah al-Huwaiti's conviction is also reported to be the reason of being seen "in several videos talking about the misery his family and all the other displaced residents were facing as a result of the decision to evict them".

Repotedly, "Shadli al-Huwaiti is the brother of Abdul Rahim al-Huwaiti, shot dead by security forces in April 2020 in his home in Al-Khariba," the group added.

"ALQST categorically rejects the death sentences"

"What these examples all demonstrate are the arbitrary and despotic methods by which the Saudi authorities pursue their plans, with no respect for people’s rights to decent housing, and without those who wish to raise complaints having any recourse to justice. Not only are the authorities persisting in this course, but they are now going even further by sentencing to death those who object to their unjust decisions or complain about the consequences," said ALQST.

The group added that "ALQST categorically rejects the death sentences passed on Shadli, Ataullah and Ibrahim al-Huwaiti – and use of the death penalty in principle – as well as the lengthy prison sentences handed down earlier on Abdullah and Abdulilah, and it calls for pressure on the Saudi authorities to quash these unjust sentences."

"It also has grave fears concerning the increasingly harsh approach the Saudi authorities are taking toward members of the Huwaitat tribe detained for resisting eviction from their homes," added the group.

UNStudio’s winning proposal for the Chungnam Art Museum in South Korea goes far beyond a traditional art museum. Designed in collaboration with DA Group, the museum is a fully immersive cultural and social experience for the entire community. Set to be a living, breathing space that will grow and change over time, the museum is designed as a place of inspiration, participation and contribution to both the art and local communities. The project also aims to become one of the first Zero-Energy museums in Korea.

In het kader van de ABC-expositie 'Netwerken: zichtbaar & onzichtbaar' geeft op woensdagavond 22 februari Misja van Veen een presentatie in het ABC. Architect Misja van Veen is Associate Project Director bij UNStudio. Hij heeft uitgebreide ervaring met verschillende stedenbouwkundige projecten waaronder het Brainport Smart District project in Helmond en Station Arnhem Centraal. De laatste jaren heeft hij ook gewerkt aan een nationale visie voor NL 2050, een toekomstvisie voor Schiphol en mobiliteit-hub-netwerken. Op de expositie 'Netwerken: zichtbaar & onzichtbaar' wordt ruim aandacht besteed aan Brainport Smart District (BSD) in Helmond. Dit project van UNStudio is een uniek, duurzaam woonconcept dat experimenteren en ‘learning by doing' omarmt. BSD richt zich op de zogenoemde 'early adapters'. Bewoners delen bijvoorbeeld de gemeenschappelijke voorzieningen, zoals centrale energieopwekking en landbouw, en bedrijven richten zich primair op innovatief onderzoek. In Helmond wordt gestart met een pilotproject van deze 'slimste wijk ter wereld' met 100 huizen, die gemonitord gaan worden. Vervolgens gaat er in ca. 10 jaar tijd 1.500 nieuwe huizen en 12 hectare bedrijventerrein gerealiseerd worden op basis van de behoeften van mensen die in het gebied wonen en werken. De ambitie is om een duurzame, circulaire en sociaal samenhangende buurt te realiseren die geniet van gezamenlijke voedselproductie, waterbeheer, energieopwekking, gezamenlijk digitaal gegevensbeheer en revolutionaire transportsystemen. Het kenmerkende karakter is het toepassen van de nieuwste technologieën en kennis van onder netwerken, waarmee BSD echt een ‘living lab’ is. Info datum: woensdagavond 22 februari 2023 aanvang: 20.00 uur (inloop v.a. 19.30 uur) locatie: ABC, Groot Heiligland 47 Haarlem toegang (incl. koffie/thee): 7,50 euro of 5 euro met MK, Haarlempas of ABC-vriendenpas tickets: aan de deur of bestel online via website ABC: https://www.architectuurhaarlem.nl
