Saudi dismisses sexual harassment reports as 'baseless'

Saudi dismisses sexual harassment reports as 'baseless'Saudi Arabia dismissed Friday as "baseless" reports that detained activists, including women, faced sexual harassment and torture during interrogation. "These recent reports by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch are baseless," the kingdom said in a statement. The activists, held since May in Dhahban prison on the western Red Sea coast, have faced repeated electrocution and flogging, leaving some of them unable to stand or walk, Amnesty International said on Tuesday, citing three separate testimonies.
