18 Turkish investors and businessmen have been arrested and detained in Saudi Arabia over the past year.
A human rights organization has reported the arrest of 18 Turkish businessmen and investors in Saudi Arabia in the past year.
The Saudi security service has arrested and sent to prison 18 Turkish businessmen and investors living in the country in the past year, Human Rights Watch said on its Twitter page.
According to the Saudi WikiLeaks website, the newly established human rights organization, which includes a group of Saudi lawyers and human rights activists, also announced that they had been transferred to the Al-Dhahaban political prison in Jeddah and had not yet been charged. And no trial has been held for them.
According to the human rights organization “Sindh”, the action of the Saudi security officials in detaining the accused of one year is against the judicial laws of this country because according to the law, the prosecutor has no right to detain the accused of more than six months and then he must be handed over to the court. Give it or release it immediately.
At the same time, the families of the detainees have called on legal organizations to work for the release of the detainees, saying that they have not committed any crime to be detained.
The Sindh human rights organization went on to demand the release of these individuals and all detainees who had been arrested for no reason and held the Saudi judiciary responsible for their lives.
Relations between the Turkish government and Saudi Arabia have been strained in recent years, with Saudi Arabia making many attempts to punish Turkey economically by barring Turkish goods from entering its territory, refusing to issue tourist visas to citizens traveling to Turkey, and detaining Saudi businessmen in Saudi Arabia. On April 20, the Turkish government complained to the World Trade Organization about the imposition of sanctions on Turkish goods in Saudi Arabia, informing the organization of Saudi actions that restrict trade relations between both countries.
