US woman detained in Saudi Arabia released amid guardianship battle
US citizen Carly Morris has been released from a Saudi prison, but says she's still unable to leave the kingdom with her young daughter.
An American woman has been released from detention in Saudi Arabia, where the country’s male guardianship system has rendered her effectively trapped in the kingdom, her family told Al-Monitor.
Carly Morris was summoned Monday to the police station in the Saudi city of Buraydah, where her family says she was accused of “disrupting public order” and transferred to a women’s prison some 40 minutes outside the city.
