Video about the incident
The Wahabi's in Saudi Arabia are well known for their un-offical most wanted list. This list contains the names of some of the biggest Sunni Scholars from around the world.
The Wahabi's cannot beat Sunni's in debates so they lock them up for no reason!

Salaams,
Is Shaykh Sahib back in the UK now (i cannot get into the iplayer links)?
Wa'salaams
salam, I dont think so. He was arrested on the 5th. He mentiones in the interview on the Iplayer bbc that they had him in a cell for nearly 30 hours, shackled and without food or water. The Shaykh has been released but not sure if He is back yet
How sad. someone trying to fullfill the sunnah and they are told its an innovation. Ya rabi guide those who have gone astray!
As Salaamu Aleihkoum my brothers in Islaam and emaan in shaa Allaah.
I met "Shaykh Rashid al mujahhid Ahle sunnaah wa Jamaat" in Birmingham and he was well alhamdulillaah, the wobblers gave up with him and let him go honourabley, had he not been a British Citizen then perhaps the outcome would have been somewhat different, may Allaah ta'ala protect our scholars on the Haq.
fee aman Allaah ta'ala Al Kareem
wassalaamu aleihkoum waRahmatullaah waBarakatohu.
