Salman Al-Odah, Awad Al-Qarni and Ali Al-Omari were arrested in September 2017 on what Saudi Arabia described as terror charges. They are seen as reformists who've spoken about human rights. The United Nations and rights groups have been calling for their release. Why are they targeted? And what message will this send about human rights in the Kingdom?
