Carly Morris was reunited with her daughter but still under a travel ban after saying she has been trapped there since 2019
While it is far from clear whether Morris and her daughter will be allowed to leave the kingdom, her release from prison – for now – suggests that the American could be spared from the slew of harsh andin recent months against people who use Twitter or other social media outlets to criticise the Saudi government.
Once she arrived in Saudi, Morris’s family have claimed that her passport and her daughter’s passport were taken from them and that she has been held in a hotel since 2019. Recently, Morris posted a detailed statement about her ordeal on Twitter, in which she warned other women and children against visiting the kingdom.
The Saudi embassy in Washington and the ministry of foreign affairs did not immediately respond to an email from the Associated Press seeking comment. White said she had expressed concerns to her daughter at the time about her travel plans. “She kept saying, ‘We’ll be back before you know it,’” White said.
