The American family of a humanitarian aid worker detained in Saudi Arabia is calling on the Biden administration to dial up the pressure on Riyadh and secure his release.
Abdulrahman al-Sadhan, 37, denied all charges against him during his appeal hearing in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. In April, the country’s Specialized Criminal Court sentenced Sadhan to 20 years in prison, followed by a 20-year travel ban, for allegedly running an anonymous Twitter account that mocked the Saudi government.
