Saudi Arabia: Former Warden of Prison Saad al-Salloum Oversaw Mistreatment

Al-Salloum as Warden of Haer Prison (General Intelligence Directorate Prison in al-Haer) until September 2019 bears overall responsibility for the treatment of prisoners in Haer Prison during his tenure.

As warden, he oversaw Salman Alodah's mistreatment beginning in 2018 and Loujain Alhathloul being held in solitary confinement with no justification. Both took place during al-Salloum's management of the prison.   

"The mistreatment and medical negligence in al-Haer and some other Saudi prisons are not individual cases or exceptions; they are systematic," Alaoudh said. "Prison officials like al-Salloum bear responsibility for these abuses."

See cases: Loujain Alhathloul, Salman Alodah

DAWN requested a response from Mr. al-Salloum by writing to the Saudi authorities on September 24, 2020, but no response was received by the time of publication.

Tweet the Saudi Ministry of Interior here and the Saudi Embassy in Washington DC here. Tell them to release peaceful activists and stop mistreating prisoners. 

About DAWN's culprit gallery:

Tyrants need enablers who will implement their oppressive practices, even if it means abusing their fellow citizens. These agents often mask their complicity in the guise of professionals exercising their duties in offices, courtrooms, police stations, and interrogation rooms.

DAWN seeks to disclose the identity of the state agents who enable repression and, to make them recognizable at home and abroad. These individuals, whom DAWN calls "culprits," bear administrative, civil, moral, legal, and/or political responsibility for human rights and international humanitarian law violations.
