UK – Amnesty International, October 18, 2024
Saudi authorities detained Fahd Ezzi Mohammed Ramadhan on 20 November 2023, two days after he arrived in Saudi Arabia from the Netherlands. He was held in incommunicado detention from 23 November 2023 until 1 January 2024, and has had no access to legal representation throughout his detention and interrogation. He told officials from the Dutch embassy in Riyadh that he had sympathized online with a critic of the Saudi royal family and believed that was the reason for his detention. He is likely to be arbitrarily detained because of his online activities because according to his family, he was asked to sign a document by interrogators in May which included four of his tweets. Saudi authorities must immediately and unconditionally release Fahd Ezzi Mohammed Ramadhan.
