According to the Freedom Initiative, Carly Morris “remains trapped in Saudi Arabia due to a travel ban and under constant threat of rearrest.”
“Saudi authorities should immediately lift the travel ban against her and permit her to return home to the US with her daughter,” Bethany Alhaidari, Saudi Case Manager at the Freedom Initiative, said in a press release Thursday. The State Department said it is aware of reports that Morris has been released from detention in the country, spokesperson Ned Price said, but would not speak to whether she is permitted to leave the country.
Morris was placed under a travel ban in September, according to the Freedom Initiative, and “was informed that she was under investigation for ‘disrupting public order.’” On Monday, she was summoned to a police station about an alleged issue with her daughter’s identification, the organization said, citing Morris’ family.
