The International Commission for Monitoring the Saudi Administration of the Two Holy Mosques revealed that the authorities of the Al Saud regime imprisoned a Palestinian resident of the Gaza Strip for a week because of his supplication while he was in the Kaaba over the Jews.
The commission, quoting informed sources, stated that the Palestinian called (M.A.) was arbitrarily arrested and held in difficult conditions for a whole week for praying for the Jews in the Kaaba.
According to the sources, the interventions of the princes and owners of Hajj companies led to the release of the arrested Palestinian after he took a pledge not to enter Saudi territory for a period of seven years.
Human rights institutions and organizations had exposed the violations and exploitation of the Al Saud regime to manage Hajj and Umrah as part of the #Hajj_No_Safe campaign.
The campaign, which enjoyed wide interaction, shed light on a number of violations and abuses practiced by the Al Saud regime against pilgrims, pilgrims and visitors to the holy sites in Saudi Arabia, and Riyadh’s use of Hajj as a tool of repression and a means of violating rights.
