Advocacy for his father

His father has been in solitary confinement since his arrest on 10 September 2017. The reason for his arrest was an expression of his desire for reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which he conveyed through a tweet. Following his arrest, Saudi authorities held him without any formal charges for a year. However, Attorney General Saud Al Mojeb of Saudi Arabia is seeking the death penalty for Salman Aloudah based on 37 charges.[6]

Abdullah Alaoudh has contributed articles to various international publications, including The Guardian, where he advocates for international pressure to halt his father's execution, as he views it as an act of "state-sanctioned murder."[1] Additionally, he has publicly voiced concerns about the mistreatment his father endured while in detention and has been a vocal advocate for his father's release.[7]
