Anyone knows what she actually tweeted?

"Her Twitter profile showed she had 2,597 followers. Among tweets about Covid burnout and pictures of her young children, Shehab sometimes retweeted tweets by Saudi dissidents living in exile, which called for the release of political prisoners in the kingdom. She seemed to support the case of Loujain al-Hathloul, a prominent Saudi feminist activist who was previously imprisoned, is alleged to have been tortured for supporting driving rights for women"

A totally insignificant opponent of the regime; probably most of us reading this thread have made comparable comments about either the Democratic or Republican Presidencies.

I've read it was 'finally!', in response to an official tweet about a launch of some public buses. This was in 2019, and it seems like she got some abuse from a guy in Saudi, who is believed to have reported her using some kind of Saudi app for doing this.
