Mohammed Saleh al-Bejadi

Human rights activities

2007–2008 In 2007, al-Bejadi contacted international media about a sit-in held in front of a provincial governmental authority and calling for the release of prisoners. He was "detained in solitary confinement without charge or trial" from 4 September 2007 to 1 January 2008. He was released "on the condition that he would not organise any fora or gatherings, nor contact any foreign press."

Al-Bejadi was held for four months in solitary confinement and allowed a few minutes each week to telephone to his wife. He was shifted to a by cell with 9 other prisoners and "bright lighting all day and night". He was denied access to a doctor for 7 months. The Ministry of Interior denied the report, saying that al-Bejadi was "in good health".

On 10 April 2012, al-Bejadi was sentenced to four years' imprisonment and a five-year ban on foreign travel.

On 24 May 2018, during the 2018–2019 Saudi crackdown on feminists, al-Bejadi was again arrested.
