Declaration of the National Assembly Party - NAAS

We hereby announce the establishment of the National Assembly Party, which aims to institute democracy as a form of government in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This declaration comes at a time of a blocked political horizon; evident by an escalation of the state’s increasing use of violence and repression, excess of political arrests and assassinations, aggressive policies against other states in the region, enforced disappearances and violent displacement of people, security forces surveillance and intrusion on public and private spaces, the absence of an independent judiciary, the government’s monopoly over the media and muzzling of public opinion, the hollowing out of civil society, rising levels of unemployment, particularly among young women and men, and the imposition of unjust taxes and fines without a public oversight, along with the squandering of the state’s resources.
