Lawyers try to open the file of kidnapping the Saudi prince Sultan Bin turkey
Saudi Arabia-Switzerland, Politics, 10/26/2004

The London-based al-Quds al-Arabi magazine said that a group of European lawyers are preparing to head for the Swiss Judiciary to open the file of the case over the disappearance of the Saudi prince Sultan Bin Turkey Bin Abdul Aziz who was kidnapped one year ago from Geneva, Switzerland, because of his strong stances over what is called corruption in the Kingdom and his demands for making change.

Sources from the opposition to the Saudi royal regime in London and Washington say that the lawyers prepared a long list of accusations that will target influential and key figures in key positions as well as other security figures in the Saudi ministries of the interior and foreign affairs and the general intelligence as well as the Saudi diplomatic mission in Geneva.

The paper said "it is expected that the lawyers will demand the Swiss government to disclose all investigations reached by its security sides regarding this crime."

Worthy mentioning that Prince Sultan Bin Turkey Bin Abdul Aziz said in a telephone call to al-Jazeera TV from the place of his detention in the kingdom in which he said that his kidnapping was due to Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Fahd. During that telephone call, the kidnapped prince said that he was beaten before he was taken to the capital Riyadh and since his kidnapping he has been living under home arrest in an unidentified place in the Kingdom. He was banned from meeting even with closest members in his family and also contacting the outer world.
