Saudi police arrested a Yemeni man this week after he advertised on social media his pilgrimage to Mecca, where he paid tribute to the memory of Queen Elizabeth II.

The clip quickly spread online, sparking outrage among devout Muslims and leading to the man's arrest on Monday for "violating the regulations and instructions" of the holy site. Security forces referred him to the public prosecutor to face charges.

Dozens of members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have nominated slain Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, the EU’s highest honour for human rights defenders.
The group 43 of EU lawmakers said on Friday that “Shireen Abu Akleh was one of the most prominent reporters in the Arab-speaking world… A strong believer in freedom of expression, she chose journalism to be close to the people.”
If the veteran reporter were to be given the prize posthumously, it would be the first time it has ever been awarded to a Palestinian.
Previous laureates include Alexei Navalny, Nelson Mandela and Malala Yousafzai.
