The Saudi authorities have continued to forcibly disappear activist Ahmed Hammadi for 75 days.
On January 27, Hammadi was detained for unknown reasons in an undisclosed place.
Hammadi is a social media activist who has thousands of followers and is well-known for his short videos.
The Saudi authorities have launched large-scale arrest campaigns against academics, activists, and preachers over freedom of speech charges.
In the wake of leaked accounts of torture and mistreatment, Saudi Arabia imposes a complete blackout on the detention conditions of many detainees.
Earlier, a high-ranking UN representative had charged Saudi authorities with grave human rights violations.
This was included in a report on the Joint Study (2010) on Global Practices in Relation to Secret Detention in the Context of Countering Terrorism, presented by Fionnuala D. Ní Aoláin, the Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms While Countering Terrorism.
