A Saudi court sentenced Ahmed Mohamed Omar to 19 years in prison due to a post on (X) about a dispute between Al-Ahly Club fans and Turki Al-Sheikh dating back to 2019, according to the worker&#8217;s mother, Afaf Abdullah.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Afaf stated in press statements that her son traveled to Saudi Arabia in 2021 to work in &#8220;Nokash,&#8221; and after 9 months of his arrival, his roommates informed the family that he was arrested by the Saudi police without knowing where he was taken.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"rtl\" lang=\"ar\">\u0628\u0633\u0628\u0628 \u062a\u063a\u0631\u064a\u062f\u0629 \u0639\u0646 \u062a\u0631\u0643\u064a \u0622\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u064a\u062e.. \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0643\u0645 \u0628\u062d\u0628\u0633 \u0639\u0627\u0645\u0644 \u0645\u0635\u0631\u064a \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0633\u0639\u0648\u062f\u064a\u0629 ( \u0623\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0645\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0639\u0645\u0631 ) 19 \u0639\u0627\u0645\u0627 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SCa21bNuXF\">pic.twitter.com\/SCa21bNuXF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 omar elfatairy (@OElfatairy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OElfatairy\/status\/1777719656859554095?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 9, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The family of Ahmed Mohamed Omar, the Egyptian worker detained by the Saudi security, remained more than a year and a half without any information about him, and his friends there tried to find out about him without any result.<\/p>\n<h3>His charge was a tweet about Al-Sheikh<\/h3>\n<p>Until he contacted them and informed them that he was in Al-Qassim prison, and they allowed him to contact his family.
