Fouad Alfarhan is a Saudi blogger who has been languishing in a maximum-security prison in Saudi Arabia, without charge, for the past four months. His arrest has generated international condemnation of the Saudi government’s heavy-handed censorship of all forms of free expression, as well as substantial criticism of members of the royal family.
Mr. Alfarhan did not commit any crime other than expressing his desire, shared by millions of Saudi men and women, for more freedom, transparency, accountability, and free press. The Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Saudi Arabia condemns the arbitrary arrest and lack of any justifiable charges against Mr. Alfarhan. Please watch his young daughter's video, where she tells her father how much she loves and misses him:
