Dissident cleric dies because of ‘medical negligence’ in Saudi prison

Tehran (KNA) - A dissident Saudi cleric has reportedly died of health complications he developed in the kingdom’s jails due to “medical negligence,” as a crackdown led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman against pro-democracy campaigners, Muslim preachers and intellectuals continues in the country.

The rights group Prisoners of Conscience, which is an independent non-governmental organization seeking to promote human rights in Saudi Arabia, announced in a post on its official Twitter page that Sheikh Saleh Abdulaziz al-Dumairi passed away at Tarfiya prison in Saudi Arabia's north-central city of Buraydah on Saturday.
