‘Middle Finger to Biden’: Saudis Boost U.S. Citizen’s Sentence to 19 Years Over Tweets After Wh Condemns Punishment

A Saudi appeals court has increased the prison sentence of US citizen Saad Almadi for tweets from 16 years to 19 years in a “middle finger” to President Biden, his son tells The Post.

The State Department told Ibrahim Almadi about the revised Saudi penalty Wednesday — months after the White House publicly condemned his father’s treatment.

“It’s not a slap in the face, it’s a middle finger,” Ibrahim told The Post, noting that his septuagenarian father has “lost more than 80 pounds” since his arrest in November 2021 on charges linked to more than a dozen tweets mildly critical of the Saudi government.

“When the US asked for an appeal, they said, ‘Here you go, 19 years!’” his son exclaimed.

Saad Almadi’s case has come up repeatedly at White House briefings — though Biden has not personally commented on it. (Read more from “‘Middle Finger to Biden’: Saudis Boost U.S. Citizen’s Sentence to 19 Years Over Tweets After Wh Condemns Punishment” HERE)
