Saudi Arabia frees Iranian pilgrim 20 days after detention

Saudi authorities have released an Iranian Hajj pilgrim 20 days after arresting him in the city of Medina.

Seyed Kazem Roohbakhsh was in Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj rituals when he was detained.

The Saudi officials did not give an explanation about the reason for his detention and sent him to Dubai on Sunday evening.

A number of other Iranian pilgrims have also been detained during the Hajj ceremonies this year in Saudi Arabia.

Iran is making efforts to win their release as well.
