He was detained as part of a widespread crackdown targeting advocates of free speech and has been imprisoned under Mohammed bin Salman\u2019s rule without any judicial verdict to date, despite growing international calls for his release.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"418\" data-end=\"819\">His son, academic and Saudi dissident Abdullah Al-Ouda, confirmed that his father is being held in harsh conditions inside a solitary cell, without a fair trial or even adequate medical care, leading to a severe deterioration in his health, including partial loss of vision in one eye. Despite Saudi authorities\u2019 promises of reform, his case remains unresolved with no signs of a near-term solution.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6040\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6040\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6040 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Mohammed-bin-Salman-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Mohammed bin Salman crackdown\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Mohammed-bin-Salman-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Mohammed-bin-Salman-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Mohammed-bin-Salman-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Mohammed-bin-Salman-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Mohammed-bin-Salman-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Mohammed-bin-Salman-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Mohammed-bin-Salman-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Mohammed-bin-Salman-1200x676.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Mohammed-bin-Salman.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6040\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mohammed bin Salman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"418\" data-end=\"819\">Sheikh Salman Al-Ouda: Unjust Charges and Ongoing Detention<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"821\" data-end=\"1192\">Sheikh Al-Ouda faces 37 fabricated charges, including incitement to sedition and terrorism\u2014charges typically used by the Saudi regime against political dissidents and independent clerics. The Specialized Criminal Court suspended his trial proceedings in 2021 without explanation, reflecting the judiciary\u2019s repressive approach toward political prisoners in the kingdom.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1570\">In recent months, Saudi authorities have begun releasing some prisoners of conscience under increasing international pressure, but Salman Al-Ouda has not been among them.
