“We were aghast by the rulings issued on Sunday morning by the Saudi judiciary against a large number of our Palestinian and Jordanian brothers residing in the kingdom,” Hamas said.

“They have not committed anything that necessitates these harsh and unjustified sentences, let alone being put on trial. They have only supported their cause and people, for which they belong, without causing any harm to the kingdom and its people. “

Hamas went on to say: “As we welcome the Saudi court’s decision to acquit some of our brothers, we deplore the harsh and underserved sentences issued against most of them. “

Hamas also called on the Saudi leadership to immediately release them and end their suffering and that of their families, which has been going on for more than two years.
