ALQST's Political Prisoners database documents those who have been detained by Saudi Arabia’s authorities in recent years in violation of their fundamental human rights and/or as a result of unfair, discriminatory or disproportionate proceedings which appear to be politically motivated (political prisoners). The overwhelming majority of cases included are also prisoners of conscience, meaning those who have been detained for peacefully exercising these fundamental rights. Given the difficulty of obtaining information on the ground, it is not possible to know the full extent of such arrests, which means that the individuals featured here, along with the violations to which they are subjected, are likely to represent only a fraction of the true total.
