A human rights organization has reported the arrest of 18 Turkish businessmen and investors in Saudi Arabia in the past year.
The Saudi security service has arrested and sent to prison 18 Turkish businessmen and investors living in the country in the past year, Human Rights Watch said on its Twitter page.
According to the Saudi WikiLeaks website, the newly established human rights organization, which includes a group of Saudi lawyers and human rights activists, also announced that they had been transferred to the Al-Dhahaban political prison in Jeddah and had not yet been charged and no trial has been held for them.
According to the human rights organization “Sanad”, the action of the Saudi security officials in detaining the accused for one year is against the judicial laws of this country, because according to the law, the prosecutor has no right to detain the accused for more than six months and then he must be handed over to court.
At the same time, the families of the detainees have called on legal organizations to work for the release of the detainees, saying that they have not committed any crime to be detained.
The Human Rights Organization Sanad further demanded the release of these individuals and all detainees who were arrested without cause and document, and held the Saudi judiciary responsible for their lives.
Relations between the Turkish government and Saudi Arabia have been strained in recent years, with Saudi Arabia making many attempts to punish Turkey economically by barring Turkish goods from entering its territory, refusing to issue tourist visas to citizens traveling to Turkey and detaining Saudi businessmen in Saudi Arabia.
The Turkish government lodged a complaint with the World Trade Organization on April 20 over the imposition of sanctions on Turkish goods in Saudi Arabia, informing the organization of Saudi actions that restrict trade relations between Turkey and Saudi.
Although in recent months there have been reports of a relative improvement in these relations, experts say there is still a long way to go before the relations are fully normalized.
Plunder the wealth of investors
The Saudi WikiLeaks website further wrote that the private sector in any country is one of the pillars of that country’s economy and any disruption in it directly affects economic development, but “Mohammad bin Salman” does not seem to have this simple issue and is reluctant that the economy it does not want to destroy Saudi Arabia.
According to the report, the Saudi Crown Prince has acted against the private sector in various ways over the past years, the most famous of which is the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, where a large number of investors and princes were arrested in a hotel in Riyadh and all their property was confiscated.
