The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) announced the deterioration of the movement of “Mohammad Al-Khadri”, one of the leaders of this movement in the Saudi prison.
The health condition of Hamas representative in Saudi Arabia, Dr Mohamed Al-Khodari, 81, has dramatically deteriorated while inside Saudi prison, Quds Press reported on Friday.
According to Quds Press, “Prisoners of Conscience“, a Twitter account that documents the situation of political prisoners in Saudi Arabia, revealed that Al-Khodari, who has been detained since April 2019, lost his ability to move due to severe illness.
Saudi Arabia arrested dozens of Palestinian students, academics, and residents arbitrarily a year ago, including Al-Khodari, the official representative of Hamas in the kingdom.
No formal charges have been made against them.
The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas on Tuesday renewed its call on Saudi Arabia to release Palestinian prisoners inside its jails after the grave deterioration of their health conditions.
Naming former Hamas representative to the kingdom Dr Mohammed Al-Khudari, Member of Hamas Political Bureau Mousa Abu Marzouq tweeted: “Dr Mohammed Al-Khudari, 83, is in critical health.”
Abu Marzouq added: “He [Al-Khudari] is being held without charge, along with his son and other Palestinians.”
The senior Hamas leader called on the Saudi authorities: “To release them immediately, taking into account their humanitarian situation.”
Al-Khudari was detained on 4 April 2019, along with his son Hani as part of a large-scale campaign targeting Palestinians.
