A British national and father of four has been sentenced to 10 years in a Saudi Arabian prison following his arrest last year, reportedly over a deleted tweet and alleged association with a Saudi dissident’s son.
Ahmed al-Doush, a Manchester-based senior business analyst at Bank of America, was arrested on August 31, 2024, at a Riyadh airport while attempting to return to the UK with his family.
Their family vacation ended with them being separated by Saudi security officers, with al-Doush being arrested, and his pregnant wife and three children resuming their flight.
