Activists have revealed that Saudi authorities had started releasing prisoners of conscience not known to the public over the past few days. This comes amid tensions that have marred Riyadh s relations with the current US Biden administration, who criticised the conditions of activists in the kingdom.
Saudi activist and blogger Sultan Alamer posted on Twitter: Praise be to Allah, there are successive releases in Saudi Arabia of prisoners of conscience who are not famous and do hold dual nationalities.
