3 Months in Saudi Jail for Khamenei Post, Youth Returns Home in Jammu and Kashmir The case of Amjad Ali Bhat, a 29 year old Kashmiri who spent three months in an undisclosed detention center in Saudi Arabia for a Facebook post, highlights the precarious nature of social media freedom in the kingdom.
While Bhat's ordeal has finally come to an end with his return home to Jammu and Kashmir last Friday, it serves as a stark reminder of the ever shifting sands of Saudi Arabia's human rights record.
Bhat was taken by six security officers from his workplace in Dammam on March 25 for questioning.
