Bader Thawab is a Saudi Twitter user who was arrested back in September 2012 after writing tweets calling for the fall of the monarchistic Saudi regime. He was also one of those who live-tweeted from the first few hearing sessions of Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association (ACPRA) trial.
Journalist Iman al-Qahtani managed to get a leaked copy of the list of charges that he faces.
She tweeted [ar]:
????? ???? ????? ??????? ?? ??????? #???_???? ????? ??? ????? ?? ?????? ?????? ?? ???? ??????? ??????? ?????
@ImaQh: I will publish the list of charges against the detainee Bader Thawab later on. It consists of two pages and I managed to get a leaked copy with difficulty.
The first page of the charges, via @ImaQh
Today she published the two pages (one and two). The interrogation summery states [ar]:
????????? ??? ??? ?? ????? ?? ??????? ????? (???? ?? ????) ??? ??? ???? ?????? ??? ????????? ???? ???? ???? ??? ???????? ?? ????? ?? ???????? ???? ???? ???? ?? ???? ????? ??? ?? ?????? ????? ??? ??? ?? ???? ???? ????? ????? ?????? ????? ????? ??? ????? ?????? ???? ?. ??????? ??. ??? ???? ?????? ??. ???? ????????.
..and when he was asked about a statement on his Twitter account, ?down with the house of Saud,? and what he meant and why he wrote it he said that he did in fact write it on his Twitter account and that he meant down with the regime, not family members, because he does not support the [presence of a] crown prince and the hereditary monarchy and he said that he follows people including Dr. al-Masari, Dr. Abdullah al-Hamid and Dr. Mohammad al-Qahtani.
All three are political opponents. The first of whom, al-Masari, has been in exile since 1994. The other two are among the co-founders of the ACPRA.
He was charged:
?????? ?????? ?? ???? ??????? ????????? (?????) ???? ????? ??? ?????? ??????? ????? ?????? ??????? ??? ?????.
with writing statements in social media website Twitter that incite public opinion and disturb national unity and following tempters and disobeying the ruler.
The public prosecutor demanded applying Article 6 of the Cypercrime Act [ar], the punishment of which is:
????? ?????? ??? ?? ???? ??? ??? ????? ??????? ?? ???? ??? ????? ?????? ?? ????? ????? ?????????
Imprisonment for up to five years and a fine of up to three million riyals [~800,000USD], or one of these two punishments.
