American woman released from Saudi Arabian jail after two-day detention over tweets critical of the kingdom
Fox News
Carly Morris has remained trapped in Saudi Arabia since 2019 when she took her daughter to visit her ex-husband's family as the country's guardianship laws favor the father.
Morris initially confirmed to the Agence France-Press that she was freed overnight and that she had been jailed for two days "over my tweets." She said she had taken her daughter from school as soon as she was released, but that her ex-husband took all of her belongings — including clothing — while she was in custody, claiming that he "took everything." Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
Morris traveled to Saudi Arabia for what she intended to be a short visit to allow her 8-year-old daughter, also an American citizen, to meet her ex-husband’s family.
