Saudi Arabia has sentenced a teacher to 20 years in prison over critical social media posts, Human Rights Watch said.
Asaad al-Ghamdi, 47, was arrested in November 2022, in a nighttime raid on his home in the Saudi city of Jeddah, according to HRW.
He was convicted on 29 May by Saudi Arabia’s Specialised Criminal Court, which was established in 2008 to try suspects accused of terrorism, the New York-based rights group said.
