13 people connected to the women activists have been placed under travel bans since February 2019. On April 4, some were arrested, including two US citizens: 1. Salah al-Haidar: Aziza al-Yousef’s son, a US citizen 2. Bader al-Ibrahim: writer and physician, a US citizen (more)
We also have unconfirmed reports of the detention of: Moqbel al-Saqqar Abdullah al-Shehri Anas al-Mazrou, a lecturer at King Saud University, was also detained last month after asking in a public panel at Riyadh Book Fair about the whereabouts of the rights activists. (more)
All those named above are writers and social media bloggers previously engaged in public discourse on reforms. We believe their arrests have been orchestrated since February and are linked to their support for the women activists’ families.
