Among the interactions under the label "# Two years_Arrests_September" Abdullah al-Odah, son of detained Saudi preacher Salman al-Odah wrote:
The same fabricated government announcement in Saudi Arabia on the day of Khashoggi's death on `` Saudi Arabia's receipt of a wanted citizen '' was a similar announcement at the beginning of the arrests in September 2017 that spoke of an 'intelligence cell', a declaration that was fabricated specifically to mislead public opinion and justify repression, torture and persecution.
