The son of a Florida retiree says Saudi Arabia has forced his father to take steps to renounce his American citizenship after jailing him over social media posts critical of the kingdom’s crown prince.

Washington: Saudi Arabia has reportedly forced a Florida retiree to attempt to renounce his American citizenship after imprisoning him over social media posts critical of the kingdom’s crown prince. This information comes from the retiree’s son.

The family of a British man who has been arbitrarily imprisoned by Saudi authorities for four months so far without charge is speaking out for the first time following months of inaction by the UK government.

A 74-year-old man was arrested and banned from returning home to the US for a series of tweets criticizing Saudi Arabia ahead of his visit in 2021.
