Originally published

The Saudi minister of the interior, Prince Nayef Bin Abdul Aziz, has unveiled that two Eritrean military men had resorted to the Saudi ports, noting that the two men arrived in the ports of the kingdom in boats and their situation is being studied.

Prince Sultan denounced the campaign his country underwent following the September 11, 2001 incidents, stressing that this campaign will not affect his country's stances and "we will continue to abide by our beliefs, do not bargain. Our society will continue to be secure and our nation united." On the conditions of the Saudi prisoners in Guantanamu, the Saudi minister said that "The prisoners there are citizens that we do accept being guilty or innocent and are able to correct their track."

He added that his country does not oppose a visit by members of the Amnesty International to the Saudi jails as far as this visit will refute hostile allegations.
