Family of Princess Basmah had told UN in a statement in 2020 that possible reason for her arrest was to raise her voice for human rights
Beirut: A Saudi princess has been released from prison after three years, a legal adviser to her family said on Sunday.
According to the New York Times, the princess, Basmah bint Saud, returned home with her daughter Suhoud, who was imprisoned with her, on Thursday, according to the legal adviser, Henri Estramant.
The family of Princess Basmah had told the United Nations in a statement in 2020 that the possible reason for her arrest was to raise her voice for human rights.
Princess Basmah has made a name for herself in the Saudi royal family as a leading advocate of humanitarian issues and constitutional reform.
Princess Bismillah, 57, is the youngest daughter of King Saud, the ruler of Saudi Arabia from 1953 to 1964.
The Saudi government never explained why Princess Basmah, 58, and Suhoud, who is around 30, were arrested from their home in the Saudi city of Jeddah in March 2019.
