Qahtani, Vice Chairman of the National Human Rights Society, has expressed concern over the unavailability of adequate information and the actual number of Saudi detainees in Iraq, Guantanamo and other places. Al-Qahtani, however, lauded the efforts of the Saudi government in repatriation of Saudi prisoners from these places. He said the society is in touch with several jurists and other authorities in Iraq to ascertain the number of detainees, circumstances of their arrest and charges pressed against them. He added that separate files containing detailed information of each of the 40 detainees in Iraq are being maintained after their families approached the society asking for assistance in bringing them to the Kingdom. Al-Qahtani said the society would seek to maintain constant communication between the detainees and their families. – Okaz __
