A US citizen sentenced to 19 years in a Saudi prison for social media posts criticising the kingdom's rulers has been released, his son told AFP on

Saad Ibrahim Almadi, a 72-year-old of Saudi origin, was arrested in 2021 for what his son, Ibrahim, described as"mild" Twitter posts on topics including the war in Yemen and the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The State Department said last year it had"consistently and intensively raised our concerns regarding the case at senior levels of the Saudi government", and that"exercising freedom of expression should never be criminalised".The Gulf kingdom has come under fire for what human rights groups describe as draconian sentences for social media criticism of its policies.

Ibrahim previously shared with AFP a list of Twitter posts he said had been used in evidence against his father -- information he said had been confirmed by the State Department. Another refers to the"sacrifice" of Khashoggi, whose killing by Saudi agents inside the kingdom's Istanbul consulate sparked global outrage.
