I didnt know before about this cruel crime against this young lady ,i didnt know about the story of the princess “Mashaal” the daugther of king Fahd Al Saud the king of Saudia .
Mashaal was executed in public by her family for alleged adultery in 1977.

in 1980 the BBC made the documenatry Death of a Princess , with Egyptian and arab cast among them “Sawsan Badr” who played the role of MaShaal and “Samir Sabri” both of them had troubles after doing this film.

Since years  and till now we see The Saudian Royal family members here in Cairo to have fun in night clubs with women and belly dancers, and in their prisons a lot of innocents Saudians ,and everyone who dare to opposit the royal family , this family is known as the most cruel against the opposition and the most corrupted and they violate human rights , a lot of vitims for this family and one of them is Mashaal.

It tells The fate of an Arab princess who was publicly executed for alleged adultery immediately caught Antony Thomas’ interest. When he started to investigate her story, he found a wealth of fascinating material and very personal views on what really happened, but nobody who was prepared to speak on camera. This led him to the drama documentary solution he found: the main character is his alter-ego, the British journalist Christopher Ryder, who travels through the Arab world to research and piece together the story of the princess. With every person he meets, Ryder and the viewer get closer to the real motives and learn to distinguish myths from facts. Scenes that suggest adultery under the cover of the veil and the execution of the princess without prior trial were especially controversial and seen as a challenge to the authority of the Saudi Royal Family and their relationship with the West. When Death of A Princess was first broadcast in the UK it resulted in a diplomatic row between Saudi Arabia and Britain that led as far as the expulsion of the British Ambassador.
