@ed_fortune @chicagoworldcon The term "Fannish Inquistion" is extreamly culturally insensitive. It is ecubilant to using the holocaust as a backdrop joke (the Spanish Inquistion was as crule to the jews and muslims if not more).

[Eng. Yasser Bahjatt م. ياسر بهجت @YBahjatt]

A lesson in real #HumanRights.
#KingSalman issues a decree that everyone in #Saudi wither citizen, legal or illegal resident would be treated for #COVID19 free of charge in all/any medical facility.

[JeddiCon @JeddiCon]

@Nikolavitch @rmdolh There is no such penalty for books in Saudi.
