A Hamas spokesman stressed that Riyadh should honor, not torture, Mohammed al-Khadri for the services it rendered to Saudi Arabia and its people.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum stressed that there was no justification for Mohammed al-Khadri, one of the movement’s leaders, to remain in Saudi prisons with his son and brothers.
Hamas news website quoted Barhoum as saying: “The principle is that they should be honored for their services to Saudi Arabia and its people, not arrested and tortured.”
He said that these people did not commit any offense or crime, noting that it was time for all these people to be released.
The Hamas spokesman concluded by stressing that the release of these individuals and their return to their families is a moral and religious duty on the part of Saudi officials.
In this regard, Amnesty International recently called on the Saudi authorities to release its representative in Riyadh and his son Hani.
Amnesty International emphasizes that al-Khadiri, an 83-year-old Palestinian national detained in Saudi Arabia, is in critical condition due to the Zionist regime’s inattention to his condition.
Amnesty International said al-Khadiri had undergone surgery for prostate cancer before being arbitrarily arrested by Saudi authorities on April 4, 2019.
Amnesty International also said that al-Khadiri had recently been unable to move his right hand and some of his fingers and was doing his job with the help of his son.
In 2019, Saudi Arabia detained 68 Palestinians and Jordanians without any legal reason.
Al-Khadiri and his son were arrested on April 4 and 5, 2019 in Jeddah by the intelligence service of the Saudi National Security Agency, at which time it was said that they would be detained only for the duration of the coup, but this period is still ongoing.
