The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

A prominent Saudi Arabian religious scholar, Emad Al-Moubayed, who criticized the country's rulers for implementing social reforms, reportedly fled the country after disappearing for days. Al-Moubayed had condemned recent social changes in the country, including lifting the ban on music concerts, claiming they were "erasing the Islamic faith." After he uploaded a video criticizing the government, another video was released, showing Al-Moubayed reading a paper in front of him, seemingly rescinding his criticisms. This fueled speculation that he was forced to do so while in custody. However, a Twitter account linked to him later reported that the cleric left Saudi Arabia and arrived in the United Kingdom. While Saudi Arabia has implemented modernizing social reforms in recent years, political changes have not followed suit. Human rights organizations continue to criticize the kingdom for its crackdown on political dissidents and activists.
