The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
after spending years in solitary confinement.
The 63-year-old holy man was handcuffed during the court session in Riyadh, which was "speedily adjourned" and scheduled to take place again in four months, according to his son Abdullah Aloudh.
Odah was first detained in September 2017 after tweeting a prayer for reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Qatar

They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
, three months after Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Manama launched a blockade against the emirate.
Following multiple delays, the holy man's hearing resumed in October 2020. He stands accused of 63 accounts of terrorism.
The charges against him include exposing "injustices towards prisoners" and "expressing cynicism and sarcasm about the government's achievements".
Odah has also been accused of affiliation with the Qatari royal family, with the Saudi government citing his public unwillingness to support the Saudi-led boycott against the emirate.
The scholar, who has 13 million followers on Twitter, was arrested as part of a wave of arrests targeting critics and opponents of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman

Last year, Aloudh wrote on Twitter that the Saudi authorities were "slowly" killing his father in prison by neglecting the scholar's medical needs.
Aloudh also said in 2020 that his father was denied self-defence during a previous court hearing.
