al-Ha'ir prison
24.449°N 46.813°E Al-Ha'ir Prison (Arabic: سجن الحاير), also known as al-Hayer al-Hayar or al-Haer, is a Saudi Arabian political, maximum-security, Mabahith-affiliated prison located approximately 25 miles south of Riyadh. It is the largest prison complex in Saudi Arabia and houses both men and women. Facilities include isolation cells, and physical torture rooms. Reportedly, a number of members of al-Qaeda are held there. There is also confirmation of unfavored royal family members being held there which include princess and princes, journalists, business rivals, political rivals, international prisoners or any alleged dissidents or persons deemed worthy of needing be silenced, made an example of, and destroyed psychologically and physically. Many people have been held without charge, have no current, pending, or even past court dates, nor future release date. Past prisoners report being subject to constant psychological, environmental, physical, social and sexual torture. Many noted persons are confirmed to be held there under these conditions and many other individuals suspected to be there, as the Saudi government limits communication for captives and refuse to provide information concerning certain detainees as a policy.
