About this person
Mohammad Fahad Muflih al-Qahtani is a human rights activist, economics professor and political prisoner who was imprisoned at Al-Ha’ir Prison in Riyadh. Prior to his arbitrary 2012 arrest, he co-founded and later led the Saudi Arabia human rights organisation Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association. Alkarama described al-Qahtani as "one of [the Saudi Arabian judiciary's] most eloquent and fervent critics". On 9 March 2013, al-Qahtani was sentenced to ten years in prison followed by a ten-year travel ban, ostensibly for "co-founding an unlicensed civil association". He carried out several hunger strikes to protest Saudi prison conditions endured during his politically motivated incarceration. Al-Qahtani remained in prison in 2022 and had been intermittently kept in solitary confinement since 2018.
