Australian government urged to press Saudis to reveal whereabouts of extradited citizen

Fresh doubts have been raised over an alleged criminal case in Saudi Arabia against Osama al-Hasani

Saudi Arabian authorities must urgently reveal the location of the Australian citizen who was extradited to the country, human rights advocates say, amid fresh doubts over the alleged criminal case against him.

Osama al-Hasani, 42, was transferred from Morocco to Saudi Arabia at 2.45am on 13 March, just hours after United Nations officials sent an urgent letter asking authorities not to deport him over fears he would face torture there, according to Human Rights Watch.
