Alleged arbitrary detention of two Ahmadiyah Muslim community members
in a jail located in al-Aziziya, in the ‗Ar-‗Ar area. According to the
information received, on May 14 2012, Mr. Sultan al-Enezi and Mr. Saud alEnezi were detained by the police without formal charges being brought
against them. While in custody, the police and scholars from the Ministry of
Islamic Affairs have reportedly visited them daily to convince them to recant
their faith, and threatened them with the death penalty if they failed to do so.
In the jail where they were held, they allegedly had limited means of
communication with the outside world. The local Ahmadiyya Muslim
community feared that they would be charged with apostasy, which carries
the death penalty.
