The Saudi newspaper “Okaz” said that the Criminal Court in Riyadh issued a final sentence of imprisonment and closing the account of a Saudi preacher (whose name was not mentioned) that attacked the preacher “Ahmed Al-Hawashi” through his account on “Twitter”, describing the latter as an heretic and ignorant, and warning against being infatuated with him.
The newspaper quoted sources as saying that the court had sentenced the preacher to 15 days in prison and the closure of his Twitter account for two years. “For his gestures on the guardian without a legal or legal justification authorizing him to sentence persons, and for his violation of the system of information crimes,” according to the newspaper.
She added, “The verdict gained peremptory after the appeal rejected the defendant’s justifications against the initial ruling that what compelled him to insult is to enjoin good and forbid vice, claiming that the footnotes are heresy and delusional, warning not to be enamored of him so as not to be deceived by his mistakes.”
Restrictions on freedom of opinion continue in Saudi Arabia, especially in issues of public opinion, so the fate of those who use their account on social media to talk about any issue and use the method of criticism, or express dissenting opinion, is to put them in prisons.
Saudi Arabia has intensified its censorship of social media, and has arrested advocates, scholars, activists and human rights activists, and the campaigns have included ministers, princes, judges, and officers in the ministries of defense and interior.
