Sulaiman Al-Saikhan Al-Nasser

A banker and prominent analyst who was arrested in a wave of detentions targeting Saudi intellectual and reformist circles in mid-November 2019, Al-Nasser was released later that month after international criticism of the arrests. He was released on November 26, alongside fellow detainees Bader al-Rashed and Fouad al-Farhan. Al-Nasser had previously published analytical blog articles on al-Rashed’s platform and was reportedly targeted for his associations with reformist thinkers and writers.
