A fact from Israa al-Ghomgham appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 September 2018 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Israa al-Ghomgham could become the first Saudi woman to be beheaded as punishment for defending human rights?

On 22 August Portal Current Events citing NBC News, published an event that “According to human rights campaigners, Saudi Arabian prosecutors seek the death penalty for six activists for inciting anti-government protests and morally supporting rioters. (NBC News)”. Whereas Main heading of its news item (by F. Brinley Bruton/Aug.22.2018/5:06 PM ET/Updated Aug.22.2018/9:51 PM ET) was “Saudi Arabia seeks 'unprecedented' beheading for woman activist” ([1].
It is strange to note that the unprecedented beheading for woman activist Israa al-Ghomgham was not mentioned in the event. Nannadeem (talk) 21:00, 24 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Well, Wikipedia is not really the place to spend much time trying to guess at source editors'/writers' motivations for how they write an article, unless that helps to separate out factual claims from opinions and subjective judgements. Boud (talk) 01:43, 25 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
