AN INNOCENTS JAIL
Rachwan and Ran are some of many foreign workers who came to earn their living in Saudi Arabia. But soon they break social and religious laws of the kingdom... They are both jailed in one of the most terrible jails
ever: the Briman Prison, in Jeddah. Here they discover a world with its own laws, where violence reigns and prisoners delve into drugs and perversion.
ENSAF HAIDAR: Born in 1985 in Saudi Arabia, Ensaf Haidar married with blogger Raïf Badawi in 2002 - against her family's will. Facing threats, in 2012, Raïf, who advocated freedom of speech in his blog, asked her to flee the country with their three children. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison. She found political asylum in Sherbrooke, Canada. She was awarded the Sakharov Price for Freedom of thought in 2015. She then founded the Raif Badawi Foundation for Freedom in Québec. She is the author of Raif Badawi The Voice of Freedom. My Husband, Our Story (The Other Press, 2016 ; l'Archipel, 2016).
