New Violations Recorded Against Released Detainees in Saudi Arabia

Human rights sources revealed new violations against detainees released in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi authorities have prevented any of them from speaking about what they endured in prison, in addition to imposing financial restrictions on them.

The sources stated that the Saudi authorities warned the released detainees that they would be re-arrested if they did not remain silent.

Additionally, the sources added that the Saudi authorities have limited the citizens released from withdrawing more than 40,000 Riyals from their bank accounts and prohibited daily withdrawals, which disrupts their affairs, especially for businessmen among them.

These violations continue the series of previous violations experienced by the released detainees, which included travel bans, prohibitions on using social media, and other documented violations.

The continuous imposition of restrictions on the released detainees by the Saudi authorities must stop immediately, and their rights guaranteed under international law must be respected.
