2,690 Days of Arbitrary Detention: Dr. Ali Al-Omari Faces Execution Threat Amid Worsening Health

Saudi authorities continue to detain Dr. Ali Al-Omari for over 2,690 days without any legal justification. Prosecutors have sought the death penalty against him, citing his peaceful expressions of opinion.

Dr. Al-Omari’s health is steadily deteriorating in prison, with chronic illnesses worsening due to deliberate medical neglect and poor detention conditions. Reports from inside the prison indicate that he has been subjected to severe torture, resulting in kidney failure.

SANAD Human Rights Organization expresses deep concern over the grave violations Dr. Al-Omari is enduring and calls for adherence to international human rights standards prohibiting cruel and inhumane treatment. The organization urges that he be provided with immediate and appropriate medical care.

SANAD emphasizes that the ongoing detention of Dr. Ali Al-Omari reflects the escalating repression of activists and dissenting voices in Saudi Arabia. The organization calls for his immediate and unconditional release, as well as the dropping of all politically motivated charges against him.
