The escalation in the rate of arrests is accompanied by a series of violations they suffer in prisons, including torture, harsh detention conditions, and deprivation of their most basic human rights, such as: access to appropriate medical care, communication with their families, and a fair trial.
This human rights report aims to monitor and highlight the situation of arbitrary arrests faced by imams and Qur’an reciters in Saudi Arabia, documenting the violations they are subjected to inside prisons. This effort is part of the Sanad Organization’s endeavor to ensure respect for human rights, including the freedom of religion and belief, and the freedom of opinion and expression.
