Special investigation of the BBC: in Saudi Arabia people live under feudal system despite living on one of the world's largest oil fields.


30 May 2014: In a special investigation for the BBC's Our World, Saudi journalist Safa Al Ahmad has gained unprecedented access to film in Saudi Arabia. She spoke to activists, some of whom were on the government's most wanted list. Activists are sentenced to death.

For more than 14 months the BBC has been requesting an interview or written response from the Saudi government. But despite repeated approaches BBC has yet to receive an answer.
