DUBAI (Sputnik) – In addition to calling for Muhammad bin Nayef’s assassination and vilifying the ruling family, the unidentified prisoner swore allegiance to both leaders of al-Qaeda and Islamic State (Daesh) jihadist groups, according to Saudi Arabia’s Okaz daily.

She reportedly called on public demonstrations and sit-ins on Twitter, demanding the release of prisoners, as well as wishing death on security forces and the Grand Mufti.
