The report states that among the detainees is a pregnant woman for whom Saudi officials are responsible for security.
The account further wrote that two Saudi activists have been detained in Al-Haier prison and a third is in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia.
The Freedom of Expression Prisoners’ Account, while emphasizing the health and safety of pregnant women in prison, called for the immediate release of all those detained for no apparent reason.

Social media is wildly popular in Saudi Arabia as a space to vent frustrations and gauge public opinion. The outcry against the video and the woman’s subsequent arrest reveal how powerful and widespread conservative views are in the kingdom, despite recent moves by Saudi Arabia to modernize and loosen some rules.
