Naomi Campbell Tweeted Something To MBS Mistaking Saudi For Sudan Then Later Deleted Her Tweet

Avatar

British supermodel and social/political activist, Naomi Campbell, recently got caught in a bit of a Twitter blunder- for lack of better terms. The legendary supermodel sent out a tweet on Sunday, to her more than 600,000 followers, asking the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to release a Sudanese girl from being wrongfully convicted. 

Except the girl in question, Nora Hussein Hammad, is actually being imprisoned in Sudan by the government there for issues related to marital rape. 

Of course, Campbell’s Twitter followers were quick to correct the diva of the mistake.

“I applaud Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for taking the right steps to improve the human rights for women in Saudi Arabia. Now, I encourage him to release our Muslim sister Nora Hussein Hammad. She is wrongly imprisoned.”

The tweet was later deleted 

She has since then deleted her tweet but kept the previous retweet of CNN International’s news about Nora Hussein Hammad- with a caption over it saying “Justice for Nora.”

It’s still inspiring to see the world-renowned model take on and speak out about such a cause. #JusticeForNoura is a campaign to help pardon the injustice a 19-year-old Sudanese received for being sentenced to death and found guilty of premeditated murder in Sudan. According to CNN International, Hammad was forced into a marriage (which she hadn’t agreed to), was forcibly raped while being held down by the man’s family members and when he attempted to do so again- Nora stabbed him repeatedly, resulting in his death. Currently, the legal age to get married in Sudan is ten years old while marital rape has not been accounted as illegal.
