Trump 's Mideast trip splashes out on deals and diplomacy but is unusually quiet on human rights.

Human rights received far less mention on President Donald Trump 's trip to the Middle East this week than is usual for presidential visits to autocratic countries.

Some Saudis who fled to the U.S. say they are pulling back from social media and any public criticism of Saudi officials.

Rights groups cite another reason activists are staying quiet than usual during the trip.

Activists say the United States' own human rights reputation is at risk.

The U.S. doesn't have the credibility to chastise another country's abuses, Whitson says.

Prince Mohammed has quietly released some of those imprisoned for seeking women's right to drive.
