According to the report of this source, the new group includes people whose sentences are coming to an end.
Saudi Arabia recently released four detainees, sending “Suleiman Haddad” and his son “Mohammed” to Turkey, and “Mohammed Fatafatah” and “Mohammed Asad” were also sent to Jordan.

In February 2019, the Saudis arrested more than 60 Jordanians and Palestinians living in Saudi Arabia, including “Mohammed Al-Khizri”, a representative of the Islamic resistance movement “Hamas”, on the charge of providing financial support to the Palestinian resistance.
The detainees are in four political prisons in Saudi Arabia, including “Al-Hayer” in Riyadh, “Zahban” in Jeddah, “Shaar” in Abha and “Al-Dammam”.
Riyadh has not made any comments since the start of the case of those arrested supporting the resistance.
On the 27th of Mehr, the Saudi authorities released the former representative of the Palestinian Islamic resistance movement Hamas after more than three and a half years of detention.
