Kashmiri Engineer Jailed 4 Years in Saudi Arabia, Family Seeks Release

Kashmiri Engineer Jailed 4 Years in Saudi Arabia F

A 36-year-old engineer from Kashmir, Abdul Rafi Baba, has been held in a Saudi Arabian prison for the past four years, causing great worry for his family in Srinagar. Baba moved to Saudi Arabia a decade ago to find better work opportunities. However, on March 1, 2020, Saudi police arrested him at his job at King Faisal University in Hofuf. Since then, his family has been working hard to understand why he was arrested and to bring him home.

The circumstances of Baba’s arrest are still unclear, leaving his family struggling to find out what happened. They have been trying to navigate the complex legal system in Saudi Arabia, seeking answers and a resolution to this difficult situation. Abdul Rafi Baba was the main provider for his family, so his continued imprisonment has caused them not just emotional pain but financial hardship as well.

This case highlights the struggles faced by many people who work in other countries. Baba’s family is asking the Indian government for help to ensure he receives a fair trial and can return home safely. The situation has created a lot of anxiety and distress for his loved ones, who desperately miss him and hope for his release.

A family member expressed their sadness, saying, “We are just waiting for him to come home; it’s been four years of uncertainty and pain.” Furthermore, this case has brought attention to the need for better legal help for Indian workers who live abroad. The lack of information from Saudi authorities has only added to the family’s worries and made their pleas for help even more urgent.
