Amnesty Urges Saudi to Free French-Egyptian
Amnesty International is calling for the immediate release of Dr. Amr Abdel Fattah, the French-Egyptian citizen who has been detained in Saudi Arabia for over two years after performing the Hajj pilgrimage in June 2022. According to the organization, he was arrested over allegations related to an invalid Hajj permit, and during his trial in August 2024, he faced charges connected to freedom of expression, including illegal entry and accusations against the Saudi government. The organization also confirmed that Saudi authorities prevented Abdel Fattah from obtaining legal representation, subjected him to torture, kept him in solitary confinement, and denied his family access to communicate with him. Amnesty International demands his immediate release, asserting that his detention violates his fundamental rights.
