An American woman who had publicly accused her Saudi ex-husband of trapping their daughter in the kingdom under so-called guardianship laws said she was released Wednesday following a brief detention over her social media posts.
and the whereabouts of her daughter, eight-year-old Tala, were unknown, according to the Washington-based Freedom Initiative, which describes itself as advocating on behalf of people wrongfully detained in the Middle East and North Africa."I was released from jail late last night," she told AFP.In a voicemail sent to AFP via Whatsapp, Morris said her daughter was safe but accused her ex-husband of taking all their belongings from their hotel apartment.
In September, she received a summons from Saudi prosecutors indicating she was under investigation for"disturbing public order," a development Morris believed was linked to social media posts about her case. Yet human rights groups note that women still require a male guardian's permission to marry, and face discrimination when it comes to divorce and custody disputes.
