Princess Basmah Bint Saud
From An abducted Saudi princess broke her 13-month silence to tweet for freedom.
Princess Basmah bint Saud bin Abdulaziz al-Saud was taken "on suspicion of trying to flee the country" in March 2019 as she tried to fly to Switzerland to receive urgent medical care. The medically equipped private plane, rented for $87,000 from Redstar Aviation, never left. She has not been publicly seen or heard from since.
A close family member told Insider that Basmah was sent to al-Ha'ir prison by Saudi state security, which accused her of procuring a fake passport, a claim she denies. The family member asked to remain anonymous to avoid retribution but their identity is known to Insider.
