Zaid Hamid arrested in Saudi Arabia - The Express Tribune



ISLAMABAD: Pakistani journalist Zaid Hamid has been arrested in Saudi Arabia, the Foreign Office said on Thursday.

According to reports, Hamid was arrested during a private visit to the Kingdom with his wife. He was apparently taken into custody after making speeches against the Saudi government.

“Our embassy in Riyadh has informed us that Mr Zaid Hamid was arrested about two weeks ago. Since then, the embassy has been working with the local authorities to get consular access,” Foreign Office spokesperson Qazi Khalilullah told a news briefing in Islamabad.

“Due to the efforts of the embassy, his wife was able to talk to him. Again, due to the efforts of the embassy, his wife will be able to meet with him on 30 June,” he said without giving further details.

In 2013, a former aide who left Hamid’s organisation accused him of being on the payrolls of the Inter-Services Intelligence agency to wage psychological operations against those opposed to the Pakistani security establishment.

How insane ? It is the job of a journalist to report things. They sometimes appraise something and criticize few things on the other hand. Saudi Authoritities are completely out of their mind.

He was a big fan of saudi and now saudi caught him and sent to jail.

I have no idea who that is but if he was arrested it was for a reason.

Says who? Some Pakistani or Indian tabloid? I have not seen any news about this in KSA media. Simple criticism alone cannot get you arrested. It must be more than that if true.

To Saudi members here: I recently moved to Riyadh and was wondering if there're any must-see sights/activities to do here. I also wouldn't mind driving to any place (coastal town) between Riyadh and Dammam.

I don't want to reply in that thread not to turn it into a chit-chat thread. Feel free to ask your question on the Arab section of the forum. Preferably someone from Riyadh.

@azzo and @JUBA should be able to help you here. I am not the right person to ask.

I read it on PDF itself.

So because you read it on PDF it must be true? As we know no nonsense is ever posted on PDF, lol. Come on!
