In a shocking revelation, the fate of the four imprisoned daughters of Saudi King Abdullah has finally come to light, exposing a decade-long nightmare that unfolded behind palace walls. Once seen as symbols of privilege, Princesses Jawaher, Hala, Maha, and Sahar were subjected to brutal confinement, starvation, and forced sedation after their mother, Alanoud Al-Fez, fled the oppressive regime in 2003.
In 2014, Alanoud staged a desperate protest outside the Saudi embassy in London, pleading for her daughters’ release. Her cries fell on deaf ears as the world largely ignored their plight, allowing the royal family’s reign of terror to continue unchecked. The sisters were ᵴtriƥped of their passports, placed under strict house arrest, and faced severe punishment for daring to question their father’s authority or advocate for human rights.
Dr. Dwight Berdick, a physician who worked with the royal family, revealed the harrowing conditions the princesses endured. He recounted how they were subjected to forced sedation and deprived of basic necessities, their spirits crushed under the oppressive regime. Despite his attempts to help, including smuggling food to the sisters, the situation grew increasingly dire.
The tragic fate of Princess Hala and Maha was confirmed when they succumbed to chronic illnesses, their deaths shrouded in mystery. Meanwhile, the fates of Jawaher and Sahar remain unknown, with fears mounting that they too may have perished in captivity.
As the world grapples with this horrifying reality, Alanoud continues to fight for her daughters, hoping against hope for a reunion. This grim tale serves as a stark reminder of the brutal repression faced by women, even those 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 into privilege, under a regime that values power over humanity. The silence surrounding their suffering is deafening, and the need for global awareness and action has never been more urgent.
