Kahlid Al-Alkami is an online commentator and blogger who posted negative tweets about austerity in Saudi Arabia. He was arrested on September 12, 2017, right after the launch of a McKinsey report that measured Saudis' public opinion on economic policies. Al-Alkami's tweets were cited in the report and described as getting twice more coverage than Saudi media. He was released on December 25, 2022 after five years of arbitrary detention.
