HÜDA PAR urges action for release of Turkish citizen detained in Saudi Arabia

HÜDA PAR's Human Rights and Legal Affairs Presidency has issued a statement condemning the detention of Muhsine Topaloğlu by Saudi Arabian security forces.
Topaloğlu's ordeal began when she shared a photo of the Prophet's Mosque on Instagram with the caption, "Continued resistance in Palestine, salute to the mujahideen." The post also tagged her travel agency. Within hours, both she and her tour guide were apprehended by Saudi security forces. While the tour guide was subsequently released, Topaloğlu remains in custody.
Her family has expressed deep concern over her well-being, as they have been unable to contact her since her detention. They have appealed to Turkish authorities, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, and the Directorate of Religious Affairs, to intervene and secure her release.
In a written statement, HÜDA PAR criticized the Saudi government for what it described as an "unjust and arbitrary" detention, and called on the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Justice, and the Directorate of Religious Affairs to intervene. The statement emphasized the need for these bodies to take responsibility and secure Topaloğlu's immediate release, citing concerns for her safety and her right to freedom of worship.
HÜDA PAR condemned the Saudi administration for its actions, accusing it of protecting the interests of Israel in the holy lands. It also vowed to closely monitor the situation and urged Turkish authorities to take swift action to resolve the issue.
The incident has strained relations between Türkiye and Saudi Arabia, which have experienced periods of tension in recent years over regional conflicts, including the war in Yemen. Critics argue that Topaloğlu's detention highlights Saudi Arabia's intolerance of criticism and its efforts to silence opposition to its policies.
As the international community continues to monitor the situation, calls for Topaloğlu's release are growing louder. The case has also reignited discussions about the rights of pilgrims and the limits of free speech in Saudi Arabia. (ILKHA)
