Saudi Arabia sentenced an elderly US citizen of Saudi origin to 16 years for his old tweets critical of the kingdom. The US government said on Tuesday it was raising the issue with Saudi Arabia after his son claimed that he was being tortured. Saad Ibrahim Almadi (72) was arrested last year in November when he was visiting his family in the country.
