Saudi prisoner in Iraq gets inhuman treatment

A Saudi prisoner held in Iraq longer than any other Saudi was beaten up with batons on Thursday by the prison guards in Baghdad.
Nasir Al-Rowaily is a prisoner in the 6th Rasafa prison in Baghdad, according to a local media report.
Thamir Al-Blaihid, head of the committee of Saudi prisoners in Iraq, said that Iraqi forces entered the prison on Thursday and assaulted the 50-year-old prisoner with batons for unknown reasons.
Al-Blaihid called on Mohammad Al-Sudani, the Iraqi human rights minister, to transfer all the Saudi prisoners to Kurdistan, including those sentenced to death, to ease their families’ visits through Jordan.
Al-Rowaily was arrested in Iraq in 1995 during the rule of Saddam Hussain. He was released in 2003 by the US forces, but was rearrested in less than a month by Mahdi Army.
