The Saudi authorities released on Wednesday the former representative of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, Muhammad al-Khodari, after nearly three and a half years of detention.
Izzat al-Rishq, a member of the Hamas political bureau, said in a tweet on his Twitter account that he was “now on the plane heading to Amman.”
The Saudi authorities had sentenced al-Khodari to 15 years in jail, with a half-suspended sentence. Al-Khodari’s son, Hani, was sentenced to three years in prison, according to their family.
The Saudi authorities accuse some 60-70 Palestinian and Jordanian figures residing in the KSA on charges of “supporting the Palestinian resistance and Hamas.”
The authorities gathered the detainees in the capital, Riyadh, and they were detained in several prisons in different regions.
