Preventing contact and visits for some detainees

The Saudi authorities continue to prevent visits and communication from some families of detainees, in clear violation of all international laws and treaties. The Saudi authorities practice this type of violation to increase pressure on the detainees and their families, to practice systematic psychological torture against them, and to make the detainees’ families live in a state of constant and permanent anxiety over the fate of their sons and daughters inside the detention centres of the Saudi regime.
