Zaid Hamid’s vocal and hard-hitting criticism of Saudi Arabia’s role in the Yemen conflict cost him dearly. On a recent visit to Makkah, the controversial defense analyst was arrested and detained in the holy city. Hamid, who has been appearing on television channels over the years, is known for his harsh criticism of the United States, Israel, India, Saudi Arabia and Pakistani separatists. After it was reported that Hamid could face up to 8 years imprisonment and numerous lashes, Pakistanis started trending #ReleaseZaidHamid on twitter. Here are some of the tweets:-
#SaudiArabia Can a Foreign Country arrest A Pak Citizen without a charge? Did he committed a Crime on Saudi Soil ? #ReleaseZaidHamid
