沙特阿拉伯正在向至少四名拥有沙特双重国籍的美国公民施压,其中包括 74 岁的佛罗里达州退休人员萨阿德·阿尔马迪 (Saad Almadi),要求他们放弃美国公民身份,因为他们因在社交媒体上发帖批评该国王储而被监禁。 Saudi Arabia is pressuring at least four dual Saudi-American citizens, including 74-year-old Florida retiree Saad Almadi, to renounce their U.S. citizenship after imprisoning them for social media posts critical of the country's crown prince. Almadi被关进监狱,然后被禁止返回美国,他的家人声称沙特官员要求他放弃美国公民身份以解除禁令。 Almadi was jailed and then banned from returning to the U.S., with his family claiming Saudi officials demanded he give up his American citizenship to lift the ban. 这种战术可能使美国改善与沙特阿拉伯关系的努力复杂化。 This tactic could complicate U.S. efforts to improve relations with Saudi Arabia.
