The world took no notice when three Muslim scholars – Salman al-Odah, Awad al Qarni and Ali al-Omari – were first detained in September 2017.
Reuters reported at the time that all three were outside the state-backed clerical establishment and recorded Odah’s past period of imprisonment two decades earlier for having tried to set up a Muslim Brotherhood inspired Sahwa (Awakening) movement.
It was hardly front page news.
