The Saudi Ministry of Interior has announced that it is creating a webpage on its Facebook and Twitter pages to enable detainees and their families to communicate.
They will be using modern communication channels, which will save families the trouble of making long journeys to see their loved ones.
One Tweet reads: “We are pleased to communicate with you through the ‘@NafethahT’ page in Facebook.”
The Ministry of Interior said that there are currently 2,362 detainees in prisons at the General Investigations Department.
Some are under investigation, while others are still in the process of being referred to the attorney general. Others are undergoing rehabilitation at the Muhammad ibn Naif Center for Advice and Counseling.
