A plane with a message saying 'Free All Saudi prisoners' flew over St. James’ Park before Newcastle ’s Premier League clash against Arsenal on Sunday.
The message was shown seconds ahead of the game getting underway at 4.30pm and was a message for the Newcastle ownership. The club are owned by the Public Investment Fund, which is the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia.
The plane was organised by the SANAD Organisation, who state on the description of their social media profile: “We aim to alleviate the suffering of the arbitrarily detained individuals and all those denied their civil and political rights in Saudi Arabia.”
